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

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.

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.
If you don’t feel like playing in a band, you can come and help with the speksi in several other ways: bit.ly/mukaan-speksiin-2018

29. Aalto Anxiety
Is everything okay? If the answer is no, share your story with us.
20% of Aalto students are in the burnout risk group. That is why we, 4 students, started the Aalto Anxiety campaign. Aalto Anxiety is a campaign that seeks to bring out students’ experiences about mental stress. Our goal is to provide peer support among students and to increase discussion about student well-being.
We are sharing student experiences on social media. To submit your own experience anonymously or read some of the stories from other students, check out our social media channels:
