In the Aalto community, a huge number of events will be arranged in the weeks before V/Wappu. The Wappu.fi site collates all the Wappu events for all of the (Wappu) people to see.
Go and add the events of you association to the site at http://wappu.fi/events-home/! You can update the details of the event later on when you specify the user and password in creating the event. Also be sure to write a summary of the event in the event description in English, so that international students get an impression of what is happening. Please note that events are only published in the calendar after approval by the administrator. If the site isn’t working or, for example, the password is forgotten, you can contact the administrators by e-mail at: webmaster@ayy.fi
Wappu.fi will be brought to the awareness of the wider audience in the next weekly bulletin next Monday, 11.4. So you should already add events onto the site over the weekend!
- Have your association join WappuAalto on April 20, DL 13th of April
Wappu is coming (it’s finally official), and it’s not too far! Following traditions, Aalto’s Wappu will be launched by WappuAalto, a Wappu carnival for all of Aalto. This year, the Akateeminen Wartti race will also take place alongside it!
This year, WappuAalto will be held on Wednesday, April 20 at Alvarin aukio starting at around 3 PM, and we would now like to ask you, the wonderful associations of AYY, to help with the implementation! We bid you welcome to be there and organize some program in your own image for the party people in true Aalto Party spirit! You won’t get a better opportunity this academic year to introduce your own activities to everyone at Aalto and get in the mood for Wappu. 😉
You can sign up by e-mail at sirius.vuorikoski@ayy.fi, or through the form at https://lomake.ayy.fi/aava/wappuaalto-2016/. More specific questions may be sent to the aforementioned address. Deadline for sign up is on April 13th midnight.
- Overall badges on sale for the Wappu badge sale!
Would your association be interested in getting badges to offer on the Wappu period badge sales on Wednesday 20.4. and Monday 25.4.? Give us your details and we’ll sell the badges for you! The registration form will be available on 28.3. at http://lomake.ayy.fi/teekkarijaosto/merkkimyynti-2016/ and will be taken down on 17.4.
Teekkarijaosto (Teekkari Section) will take care of the sale of the badges and deposit a sum that corresponds to the badges sold onto your account, as well as returning any unsold badges. In order to cover any possible spoilage, Teekkarijaosto will take a 5 percent commission from the sales takings. Badges to be sold should be delivered to Teekkarijaosto before the badge sale; the time and place will be given to those who want their badges to be included.
If you have any questions, contact the Teekkari Culture Directors: Jan Juvonen and Miia Mäkinen (firstname.lastname@ayy.fi)
- Come and be a checkpoint keeper at Crazy John!

As a bonus, for the association that holds the best checkpoint we’re offering a gorgeous (and delicious) Wappu basket and also a one-off use of a single-rental sauna premises during the end part of the year.
