Nearly a thousand voluntary blood donors are needed every weekday to make sure that about 50,000 seriously ill patients receive the treatment they need every year. That is why the Aalto University Student Union is once again challenging all associations active within AYY to donate blood for the common good!

The autumn LuovutusAalto challenge started on the 2nd of October, and you can donate until the 30th of November. Like in the spring, the associations that have donated the most blood, both quantitatively and in percentage terms in relation to their number of members, are awarded the use of one of AYY’s sauna facilities for one night, a diploma from the Finnish Red Cross – and of course glory and adoration! All donors also receive an overall patch from the Finnish Red Cross. In addition, groups that have donated at least 10 times during the year will receive a diploma and their names will be put up on the Blood Service website.

10. Aaltositsit – A Better Tomorrow

 

Did you know that 25–30% of the all world’s food ends up in the garbage? Some of the food is left on the ground, some is wasted on the way, and some is left unsold at stores or restaurants. At the autumn’s Aaltositsit, the organizers have tried to decrease the amount of food waste by purchasing the ingredients for the sitsit mainly from Finnish online shops that sell clearance and discontinued products.

That is why on Thursday, the 23rd of November, Aava, KUVA and the Teekkari Section invite all Aalto people regardless of their line of study or starting year to enjoy a three-course dinner made from surplus food, as well as dazzling performances and new cross-disciplinary acquaintances. We want to give the participants the chance to experience the characteristics typical to Aalto’s different sitsi cultures and to get to know to new Aalto people outside one’s own field of study.

The sign-up for the sitsit opens on Monday, the 6th November at 12:00 at www.bailataan.fi. The number of seats is limited

What? Aaltositsit – A Better Tomorrow

15. Teekkarispeksi 2018 band search

 

The Teekkarispeksi 2018 production is about to start and, like all proper musicals, Teekkarispeksi also needs a live band. Teekkarispeksi is basically a musical that lasts the entire evening, and more than 20 songs are played during the speksi. The songs cover a wide variety of different music styles, so we’re trying to gather a very versatile band for the production. We’re looking for both traditional band instruments (guitar, bass, drums, keyboards) as well as orchestral instruments (string and wind instruments) and of course singers. You can basically apply for the band regardless of your instrument. The Teekkarispeksi band rehearses in the spring, and the performances are held at the end of spring before the potential Wappu party.

A band jam will be held at the PELMU rehearsal studio on the 15th and 16th of November. The jam acts as an “entrance exam” for the band. You can sign up for the band jams at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc4yoCPbWOyD_mTmLl313oEjuQ_Ac3pKhLq0tOcHvCXVXhuDA/viewform

The DL for signups is on the 9th of November at 23:59, after which the applicants will be sent an email about the songs to be played at the jam along with any other practical information. Visit the link to find out more.

29. BEER AND BIBLE at the Gallow’s Bird pub on the 15th of November at 17:30

”When I preach, I preach so that even a 7-year-old child can understand it. But when me and Master Melanchthon drink beer in the cellar and talk about theology, even God up in Heaven is astonished by our learning.”- Martin Luther (1483-1546)

Join the discussion, learn new things and get to know to new people! We are hosting an easily accessible Bible circle for students and young adults at the Gallow’s Bird pub on Wednesday, the 15th of November at 17:30. The pub is located in Niittykumpu, and it is easy to reach. Food and drinks are available at the pub, and dogs and baby strollers are allowed. After the first Bible circle, we will agree on the date of the second meeting according to the attendants’ schedules. The masterminds behind the Bible circle are lovers of beer and the Bible from Tapiola, Stina and Ilmar Metsalo. The Aalto chaplains and the Tapiola parish are also involved. For more information, contact Aalto chaplain Marjut Mulari: marjut.mulari@evl.fi / 0503652256.
