For immediate release

Aalto University Student Union (AYY) has recruited new employees. Mikko Autio was appointed as Corporate Relations Coordinator and Siiri Kihlström as Event Producer.

Autio is a 24-year-old student of mechanical engineering. Previously, he has acted as the excursion master and the corporate relations coordinator in the Guild of Mechnical Engineering. In 2013, he acted in AYY’s Corporate Relations Section. In AYY, the Corporate Relations Coordinator is responsible for preparing and maintaining agreements between the student union and companies. Autio started in his position on 27 Nov.

”AYY’s corporate relations have plenty of potential for development, and as a young operator I am not limited by old patterns. Overall, it is very interesting to participate in corporate cooperation on a much larger scale than in the guild activities,” Autio comments.

22-year-old Kihlström is a cultural producer (University of Applied Sciences) and currently studies economics at Aalto University. Previously, she has acted as a producer in projects of Metropolia University of Applied Sciences and participated in event production in various projects. In addition, she has been an active member in the Board of KY’s Cultural Section and she is closely involved in scouting activities in the metropolitan region. AYY’s Event Producer supports the Student Union’s sections in event production together with the other producer. Kihlström started in her position on 2 Dec 2014.

“I look forward to practical work together with new cultural operators and further improving AYY’s events and other cultural activities,” Kihlström says.

Aalto University Student Union AYY is a service and interest organisation for approximately 15,000 Aalto University students. AYY represents its members’ interests in education and social policy issues, in particular.
