1. EVENT INFORMATION ON AYY.FI AND AYY’S WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
The electronic event calendar on AYY.fi was renewed during the summer. In this context, it is good to remind the associations that each association is responsible for adding their own events in the electronic event calendar of AYY.fi. This can be done with usernames created for associations, which are also used for the administration of the association profile on AYY.fi. Usually information on single events is not added to AYY’s weekly newsletter separately, but the communications officer will pick events for the weekly newsletter from the event calendar on AYY.fi. Therefore, if you want your event to be added to AYY’s weekly newsletter, it is enough that you add your event to the event calendar of AYY.fi with your own username. If you have lost your username or need help in adding your event, you can send e-mail to jarjestoasiat@ayy.fi.
2. AYY’S RECRUITMENT SITES FOR THE YEAR 2014 ARE OPEN
AYY is made and experienced by its members. Each active AYY member can contribute to making the student union an important, necessary, suitable, interesting and reliable interest representative, service provider and community for themselves and, above all, their community. There are many ways to have influence and participate, so choose the most suitable way for you! AYY’s recruitment sites for the year 2014 are open at ayy.fi/stop. Check out volunteer positions for the next year and apply for a suitable duty.
Also participate in AYY’s recruitment night at Otaniemi Rantasauna from 5pm onwards. There are shows, snacks and an opportunity to get to know people who work or volunteer in AYY this year. Event information is also available on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/442845252500384/.
3. STUDENT UNION’S CENTRAL OFFICE MOVES TO THE ADDRESS OTAKAARI 11
The Student Union’s Central Office moves from Lämpömiehenkuja to the address Otakaari 11, where AYY’s Otaniemi Service Point is already located. The renovation, which has been ongoing throughout the summer, will cause some exceptional arrangements for housing and member services during October-November. In the future, it is easier for associations to reach the organisational sector and AYY members in charge of facilities and IT issues under the same roof. The permanent removal from Lämpömiehenkuja to Otakaari will take place by mid-November.
4. POLIN APPRO 2013 – ADVANCE TICKET SALES FOR ASSOCIATIONS
Polin Appro will be organised during the teekkari tradition week on 6 Nov 2013 and associations have the opportunity to purchase ticket packages in advance between 00.01am on 1 Oct–11.59pm on 11 Oct at http://lomake.ayy.fi/teekkarijaosto/polinappro2013/. The prices of advance ticket packages are determined by the number of purchased tickets. For each package of 10 tickets, one is free in advance sales. The price of one ticket is €10, and therefore 20 advance tickets cost EUR 180, for example. The order is binding and tickets cannot be returned. Instructions for the ticket collection are sent after the submitted order. Age limit is 18 years. Any questions related to advance orders can be addressed to saila.nojonen@ayy.fi
Further information on the event and ticket sales is available at www.polinappro.fi and on facebook site: http://www.facebook.com/events/1420848151474027/.
5. HELP AALTO UNIVERSITY, AYY AND ALL STUDENTS TO SPREAD THE MESSAGE ABOUT THE BACHELOR’S FEEDBACK SURVEY
AYY and Aalto University hope that active students would spread the message about the national Bachelor’s feedback survey to those who completed the bachelor’s degree in the spring of 2013. This is a key channel to develop the university based on feedback and the only channel, based on which the University receives direct funding from the state.
What is this all about? Here is the text which is also available on our website (/kevaalla-2013-kandiksi-valmistunut-vastaa-aalto-yliopiston-kandikyselyyn/) and it should be spread to the fresh Bachelors of the spring.
6. TEEKKARI TRADITION PARTY 2013
