1. Aalto Open Air on April 19th and call for volunteers!
This year, the spring starts bigger than ever as Aalto Open Air takes over the campus area! Take all your friends with you and make your way to the Alvari Square on April 19th!
At Alvari Square, you’ll find two stages where bands keep the atmosphere up. Performers include: Don Johnson Big Band, Boston Promenade and Toot Toot. The main artist will be announced soon – stay tuned ;). In addition you can enjoy different festival events, food trucks and pop-up -events offered by Aalto Festival.
So give Wappu a head start and come and enjoy the spring!
To make sure that the party won’t stop, there will be an afterparty at Täffä starting at 10pm!
The event will be organised by AYY, Aalto-university, Aava and April Jazz.

The spring’s overall badge sales are approaching, and we would like to see badges from as many guilds and associations as possible up for sale. The badge sales for the Wappu period are organized on Tuesday, April 18th in the Undergraduate Centre and on Wednesday, April 19th in Aalto Open Air.
The Teekkari Section (Teekkarijaosto) will take care of the sale of the badges and deposit a sum that corresponds to the badges sold into your account and return any unsold badges. In order to cover any possible losses, the Teekkari Section will take a 5 percent commission from the sales proceeds.
Submit your association’s badges for sale by filling in the form at https://lomake.ayy.fi/teekkarijaosto/merkkimyynti-2017-badge-sales-2017/. The deadline for filling in the form is April 9th.
The badges must be delivered to AYY’s central office between April 11th and April 13th. Detailed information regarding the delivery of the badges is sent later on to associations that have filled the form.
Please note that the sales are meant only for badges that come from associations, not from private persons.

3. Come and be a checkpoint keeper at Crazy John!
Wappu is soon here and, with it, the highly anticipated traditional Crazy John event!
In the Crazy John event, teams consisting of about 4–10 people travel around Otaniemi the night before the Wappu eve, completing various checkpoints and competing for the title of the Craziest Team™. Now your association or group of friends has the chance to be right in the thick of it and lift everyone’s spirits by holding a checkpoint of your own!
The registration for checkpoint keepers is open at https://lomake.ayy.fi/teekkarijaosto/hullu-jussi-2017-rastit-crazy-john-2017-checkpoints/ and it will end on April 25th. If your association does not have a club room and you want hold your checkpoint indoors, register as soon as possible and contact the organizers, and we will do our best to arrange the needed premises for you. The best checkpoint is rewarded with a marvelous Wappu basket with lots of goodies in it, and a free AYY rentable sauna space for one day (must be used by the end of the year).

4. Competition for associations – the most internationalised will be rewarded!
How to make your association more international? AYY is organizing a competition for associations, rewarding the association that has made the most developments in internationalisation during 2017. The means for internationalisation and opening new participation opportunities for international students can be freely chosen by the associations, but inspiration can be sought from the ABC-guide, made to help with the process.
The association with most advancement in internationalisation will be rewarded at the association assembly in December 2017 with praise, glory and a free sauna booking at one of AYY’s saunas. We won’t award an association that’s already very international, but rather one that has developed their organization the most towards international activities during the ongoing year. Sign up with the link below, plan on how to integrate internationality into your events and operations, and prepare to report your development in November 2017. In the report you must open up what you’ve done differently this year with, for example, the enrolment of new students, information coordination or events, and what you’ve learned along the way.
5. Download Whappuapp!
It’s finally here – Wappu app for students. This year wappu is going to be a full hands-on experience with the Whappu application. The application was created as a collaboration with students and Futurice. Talk about wappu, find the hottest events, share collective wappu vibe and compete with your association for a prize!
