- Arrange a checkpoint at Stadisuunnistus
In order to offer the freshmen a chance to get to know The Eastern Harbour City (in some cultures also known as Helsinki), we organize an event called Stadisuunnistus on Tuesday September 12th. Stadisuunnistus is a checkpoint crawl in the center of Helsinki, and the event starts at 6PM at the Senate Square. The checkpoints are open from 6PM to 9:30PM, and the afterparty starts at 9PM at Nightclub Capital in the center of Helsinki (Fredrikinkatu 51).
You can register you checkpoint here (deadline Sunday September 3rd):

- Volunteer for the Dipoli Independence Day reception – Associations will be compensated
Does your association need funds for a purchase or an excursion? Do you have keen volunteers to help with the largest Independence Day event of the year?
This year, the volunteers are recruited through associations, because compensation is being paid for volunteering to the association, which they must be able to invoice. Help is needed in the cloakroom, decorations, final cleanup and catering, possibly for other tasks as well.
Apply by sending an informal application by the 11th of September. The application should include the following details:
-what are you gathering funds for (excursion, event, purchase or something else)
-how many volunteers would you bring
-preferred amount of payment with arguments and grounds
Please note that the decisions on payment are based on the overall assessment, so it is possible that the sum offered will differ from the amount you applied for. In this situation, the association can turn down the offer. If there are more applications than slots for volunteers, the associations are chosen based on the applications.
If you have any questions, please contact

Timi Tiira,
- Sign your association up for the Campus Expo!
The Campus Expo is coming again on the 3rd of October 2017 from 11:00 to 15:00, held in the familiar surroundings of Otakaari 1! We are searching for associations to host stands or checkpoints to explain and showcase their activities. Because the event is a part of Aalto Wellbeing Weekend this year, a criterion for associations is that the activities would be tied to the theme, well-being.
Interested? Fill up the form below by Sunday 24th of September. Please let us know in the application how your stand or checkpoint would fit with the theme!
