1. 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/.

2. APPLICATION FOR THE EQUIPMENT OF AATE IS OPEN

At its meeting 4/2013, the Representative Council decided to discontinue the operations of AYY’s cultural arena. Following this decision, the Student Union has the video equipment of Aate in storage waiting for new users.

As AYY no longer has resources to organise similar activities, we hope that the associations have enthusiasm and know-how to use this valuable equipment. If your association has a need or interest to re-use the equipment, now is the opportunity to do so.

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. 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.

5. TEEKKARI TRADITION PARTY 2013

Aalto University Student Union’s Teekkari Section has the honour to invite all technology students and their friends to celebrate the teekkari tradition party on Friday, 8 Nov 2013. The party will be celebrated from 6pm onwards at Hotel Haaga in the Eastern harbour city. The traditional herring breakfast will be served at Servin Mökki on Saturday, 9 Nov, starting at 12noon. The price of the dinner card for students is EUR 85 and the price for graduates is EUR 105. The price of herring breakfast is EUR 12. Registration will open at 12noon on 8 October at the address: teekkariperinnejuhla.ayy.fi
