Please enter the text you want in the calendar ”Event name/Text” field (yellow background). Please note that one line can hold up the maximum of 25 characters of text, including spaces. When writing the text, please consider how many lines from  your own calendar you wish to be ”wasted”. The calendar is trilingual so please take this into account when planning the text.

3. AFYE PROVIDES FUNDING FOR EVENT ORGANISING

Aalto First Year Experience (AFYE) is a project offered by Aalto University, which aim is to welcome new students to the university and open a window to various opportunities offered by Aalto without clinging to the borders of scientific fields. AFYE means everything that is related to welcoming new students to the Aalto community during their first year of studies. Orientation and tutor activities of the schools are part of AFYE’s concept. In addition, we organise various events and advertise opportunities concerning the new students on our website.

AFYE invites student organisations, guilds and associations to create an incredible first year for new students and show everything that Aalto has to offer. AFYE provides funding for event organising, which are targeted to new students during the next academic year.
