1. CAMPUS EXPO 28-29 OC, DL FOR REGISTRATION 27 OCT
This year, the campus expo of AYY and Aava will be organised in Töölö on Tue, 28 Oct and in Otaniemi on Wed, 29 Oct. In the campus expo, you can present your association activities to new students, sell overall badges and make new acquaintances. Your association can participate in one or several days.
During the day, display stands are open between 9:45-14:15. You can come prepare your display at 9:30. You are provided with a table and a chair but you must bring other material by yourself. Registration is now open at https://lomake.ayy.fi/aava/kampuskarkelot-28-29-10-2014/. Deadline is next Monday, 27.10. 6pm.
Further inquiries to Aava (aava@list.ayy.fi).
If you want, you can also organise an evening event in your own facilities where you can invite new members to get to know your activities. The purpose is not to arrange ”checkpoints” like in Otasuunnistus orienteering but activities which are typical to your association and which can be easily presented to all who are interested. Please mention your possible event idea in the registration form and we will add it to the event schedule.
Campus expo schedule:
Tue, 28 Oct, 9.45-14.15, the 1st expo day in Töölö
Wed, 29 Oct, 9.45-14.15, the 2nd expo day in Otaniemi
Official After Party at AYY’s recruitment sauna at Rantasauna starting 6pm.
Check up-to-date programme and the after party in facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/310801889105765/
2. SELL YOUR ASSOCIATION BADGES AT CAMPUS EXPO! DL 27 OCT 4PM
Would you like to have your association badges sold at AYY Campus Expo?
Please register with Mikko Unkuri (firstname.surname@ayy.fi) and mention the price and number of badges.
Badges are sold both in Otaniemi and Töölö, unless the association only wants to choose the other location.
Badges are delivered either to the campus on the expo day or in advance to AYY Central Office no later than 4pm on Mon, 27 Oct.
3. AYY’S ASSOCIATION TRAINING BEGINS AT 5PM ON 3 DEC
AYY’s association training will be organised at Design Factory in Espoo starting at 5pm on 3 Dec. The training is intended for old and new operators in the member associations of AYY’s association register. You can also participate if you are interested in association activities or consider establishing a new association, for example. The training is suitable both for beginners in association activities and the more experienced operators.
A more detailed programme will be published later at ayy.fi and in the association newsletter.
The training will be held in Finnish.
4. AYY is looking for students who deserve recognition! DL 31 Oct
A conscientious team player or a diligent workhorse. A relentless creator of Aalto spirit or whoever.
AYY is looking for individuals from among its members who deserve acknowledgement. The recipient does not have to be an active organisation member in ivory towers or an eternal student who has worn out the couches at AYY’s office. On the other hand, these features do not preclude anyone from receiving acknowledgement. Acknowledgements, which are granted for the first time, will be awarded in a festive event in 2014. Proposals are received by the acknowledgement working group.
The nomination form is available at bling.ayy.fi (will open on 1 Oct 2014)
The form is open until 12noon on 31 Oct.
5. BORROW USEFUL BOOKS FROM AYY
Do you need more information how to run an association? Would you like to learn social media communications or go through history? AYY’s Central Office has several books on association activities, communications, management, well-being at work, interest representation and a pile of history books. Any association member or AYY member can borrow books. The exact list of books is available here: /en/associations/services/association-literature-for-loan/ You can request books from the organisation specialist (jarjestoasiat@ayy.fi). The majority of books are only available in Finnish.
