2. Remember to update your association profile and add evens on AYY site
New students will arrive next week and the layout of AYY website has been renewed. Now is a good time to update association profiles and add your association events to AYY’s calendar. Any problems can be reported to jarjestoasiat@ayy.fi.
3. Your association to join Otatarha race?
The traditional Otatarha race, a festival-like car racing event, is here again on 30 September. Would your association like to be a part of this event by hosting your own checkpoint? We would like the event to be even more audience-friendly this year, offering the audience more activities besides the actual car/vehicle-racing. We warmly welcome association checkpoints that somehow activate people and offer them something to do. The checkpoint can be a “team checkpoint”, where a group of people is doing something together, or a single-person activity. What is most important is that the checkpoint is fun.
If you have an idea (you don’t have to have all the details specified or decided yet) and you would like to participate in the best Otatarha race event this year, please send an email to sirius.vuorikoski@ayy.fi. If you are interested, please let us know no later than two weeks before the event, i.e. at the latest on 16 September, so that we still have time to figure out what to do and go through the details if there’s need for that.
4. Invitation to Campus Expo Kampuskarkelot on 22 Sept
AYY’s Kampuskarkelot is an expo event for all Aalto students organized by community committee Aava. Kampuskarkelot will be held on Tue, 22 September in OK1 main building (Otakaari 1, Otaniemi). Stands are open from 10am-2pm and from 4pm onwards special status association facility / guild room tour, and AYY can give a free facility to some associations to arrange an open event in the evening.
