1. AYY’S OPERATING GRANTS 2012
The application period for AYY’s operating grants and the making of association notice is ongoing. The application period is 1 March-1 April, so you can still apply for the grants during the next week. All AYY’s associations accepted in the first register may apply for the operating grant. Associations in the second register only fill out the association notice, which is the same form with the exception of the application for the operating grant.
The application form is available at https://lomake.ayy.fi/yhdistykset/ayyn-toiminta-avustushakemus/. Further information on the application is available by the Student Union’s organisational sector by email at jarjestoasiat@ayy.fi. You can also find answers at /yhdistyksille/apurahat-yhdistyksille/, which has concise information on the operating grant and the scoring model used for the allocation of the grants.
2. IS YOUR ASSOCIATION’S AYY.FI PROFILE UP TO DATE?
One of the conditions for receiving the operating grant in 2012 is to have an updated association profile at ayy.fi. It is advisable to check the situation of your profile immediately. If the profile does not exist, you should order it before the end of the application period of the operating grant on 1 April 2012. You can order the profile information from Joonas Jylhä (joonas.jylha@ayy.fi). Please include your contact information and the association name with the order. Since the association members often change annually, it is recommended that the ordered usernames are sent directly to the general e-mail address of the association (such as info@yhdistys.fi), so that they remain for new members.
3. HULLU JUSSI IS APPROACHING! WORK AT CHECKPOINTS!
May Day is approaching as well as the traditional Hullu Jussi event. In the event, teams of 4-10 people tour Otaniemi completing various checkpoints and competing for the title of “the craziest teekkari group”. The question is: would your association like to arrange a checkpoint in the event?
What, where, when?
- Time: 29 Apr 2012, approx. 10pm-1am, after the beginning of the night pranks
- Location: Around Otaniemi
- Concept: Groups of friends tour checkpoints in Otaniemi and compete for the title of “the craziest teekkari group”. The winner will be published in the declaration of May Day celebrations.
If you are interested and would like to organise a checkpoint in Otaniemi and have a great time, please sign up at matias.korkka@ayy.fi no later than 22 Apr. Please include the subject “Hullu Jussi Rastinpitäjä 2012” and mention your association name, details of the contact person, preferred location of the checkpoint and the content of the checkpoint that you have planned. If your association does not have a club room and you would like to organise the checkpoint indoors, we can arrange premises for you. As a bonus, the association which organises the best checkpoint wins one free use of Otaranta rooftop sauna in the summer or next autumn! Further information is available at matias.korkka@ayy.fi. Further information will be provided for participants at a later date.

6. STUDENT – YOU CAN NOW PARTICIPATE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NOPPA SERVICE
We are developing Noppa service and with the student survey we aim to chart students’ opinions on Noppa’s most important student services. The survey also presents questions to support the development work for the mobilisation of Noppa services. The survey results will be used in the design of development directions as well as individual development targets. Results are also received from interviews. At the end of the survey, you can express your willingness to participate in interviews and tests.
We hope that you have fifteen minutes to respond to the survey. The answers are handled anonymous and confidentially. The survey is open between 12 March-25 March 2012. We will raffle 15 movie tickets among the respondents.
Link to the survey: https://www.webropolsurveys.com/S/607A022FB0F61C19.par. A separate survey for teachers and personnel will be conducted at a later date, which charts Noppa services from the perspective of the personnel.
Further information on the survey: Piia Leppänen, Application Designer, Academic and Student Services, piia.leppanen@aalto.fi.
