1. UPDATE YOUR ASSOCIATION INFORMATION AND EVENTS ON AYY’S WEBSITE
New students are here! Now is a good time to ensure that information delivered to them is correct: so please check your association information on the association profile on AYY’s website. At the same time, you can also add your association events to AYY’s event calendar. Events added to the calendar are also automatically added to AYY’s weekly newsletter.
You can update your association profile and add events by logging on to the website at ayy.fi/wp-admin. Association usernames were created for each association when joining them to AYY’s association register. Usernames are connected to the mailing of the association board if the association has such a mailing list. Therefore, if you have forgotten your password, you can reset the account by clicking ”Forgot your password?” link. If you have any problems, the organisation sector can also reset the username. Please contact the sector at jarjestoasiat@ayy.fi
Instructions to update the profile and add events to the event calendar are compiled in these instructions. The instructions are only available in Finnish.

5. ORGANISE A SPORTS EXPERIMENT DURING THE WELL-BEING WEEK OF AALTO IN THE AUTUMN
In the autumn, AYY and Aalto will organise a well-being week in week 40 (29 Sept-3 Oct 2014). The week consists of lectures, well-being stands on campus and UniSport group exercises. A variety of sports experiments are also provided during the week.
Would you like to organise a sports experiment during the well-being week of Aalto?
Please send us information about your sports experiment with possible registration instructions to tiedottaja@ayy.fi or anssi.panula@kyweb.fi no later than Monday, 8 Sept 2014. After this, the information will be added to voihyvin.ayy.fi site. Information on sports experiments from the previous autumn are available at: http://voihyvin.ayy.fi/?page_id=7
You can organise a sports experiment at any time during the week 40, but the registration should open at 12noon on Monday, 15 Sept, so that everyone can participate if they want to. The organiser of the experiment is responsible for collecting possible entry fees and registrations.
5. STUDENT EVENTS NEEDED FOR THE FILMING OF MTV PUSH IN HELSINKI 8 -12 SEPT, SIGN UP BY 2 SEPT
Would you like to participate in showing the student life in Helsinki to the world? Now you have the opportunity to get MTV’s international reporters to make a story about your student event. We collect a list of sitsit, city orienteering, freshmen parties, etc. organised in week 37. Please announce your event and perhaps the report team will select it as one of their stories!
MTV Push Helsinki presents the city’s unique musical and cultural life in different parts of Helsinki on 11–12 September but the reporters arrive already before the event. As a student organisation, you can bring added value to this international event by sharing the good vibes and atmosphere to millions of viewers.
We need information on events by 2 Sept 2014. Please send your event name, date, time, location, expected number of participants, contact persons and a brief description in English to
