2.    AYY’s lost property practices are changing

Up till now, it has been possible to bring objects from clothes and bags to items of value to AYY, found in the one-off rental premises of AYY or the campus area. Due to a lack of resources, the lost property service will end at the end of this year and such items will no longer be accepted at the office of AYY.

This means that from there on, passing on clothes or bags found in the premises of AYY or the campus to lost property offices or their owners is at the responsibility of the event organisers. It will only be possible to bring phones, wallets, keys and spectacles to the service point of AYY. Travel cards found are to be returned to the service points of HSL or given to bus drivers, who will pass them on to HSL.

So, the period of November and December is the last time that you can come to look for your lost property. At the end of December, all existing lost property will be taken from the storerooms of AYY for recycling or waste collection.

3.    Send a card to someone nice!

Did you attend an extraordinarily good lecture? Was the janitor kind enough to help you with your heavy luggage? Did the study planning officer help you out with your complex study plans?

It is nice to get praise on your work but also to praise others. Now it’s time to say thank you to university staff. Aalto University Student Union will send a thank you card on your behalf if you tell us who has been nice to you at https://lomake.ayy.fi/sosiaalipolitiikka/kortti-kivoille/. Let’s remember to thank each other!

4.    Mindfulness – Compassionate Learning on January

Mindfulness is a state of open attention on the present. It’s living here and now. Mindfulness involves nonjudgmental conscious awareness of one’s feelings, thoughts and surroundings. In an educational context mindfulness applied to learning is the practice of ignoring distractions, disregarding unhelpful self-criticism and keeping focused. It can deepen our understanding and help us to find learning as fascinating as it should be.

The workshop consists of five session on Mondays 10-12 hrs, January 9th to February 6th, class room Majakka (M140), Otakaari 1. The workshop is in English.

6.    Current news from FSHS

The electronic health questionnaires sent to first-year students will come this time at the beginning of 2017.  Thus, health appointments will also be done after the turn of the year. An invitation to a health appointment is sent to those students who have the most need for it on the basis of the health questionnaire. An information system overhaul is currently under way at FSHS, which also includes updating the electronic health survey. The new system will make the health survey process considerably easier.

The name of the MyFSHS service is changing. In the online service, you can check and cancel your own appointment times. If you have received an appointment booking authorisation that entitles you to book an appointment, you can also book a time and move times you have already booked with the aid of the service. From here on, MyFSHS will be known as Self. The name is changing because according to the feedback from students and staff, the names My FSHS and MyKanta were too similar and difficult to distinguish from each other. The Self name will gradually be taken into use during the end of the year. For example, updates to the yths.fi site will be begun soon.

The branches of FSHS will be closed on Independence Day, 6.12. The doors of the Otaniemi branch of FSHS will be closed exceptionally on Monday, 12.12.2016 from 12 noon to 1.30 pm.

The staff of the Otaniemi branch of FSHS wish all students a peaceful and relaxing beginning to December and good luck for the efforts of the end of the year!

2.    AYY’s lost property practices are changing

Up till now, it has been possible to bring objects from clothes and bags to items of value to AYY, found in the one-off rental premises of AYY or the campus area. Due to a lack of resources, the lost property service will end at the end of this year and such items will no longer be accepted at the office of AYY.

This means that from there on, passing on clothes or bags found in the premises of AYY or the campus to lost property offices or their owners is at the responsibility of the event organisers. It will only be possible to bring phones, wallets, keys and spectacles to the service point of AYY. Travel cards found are to be returned to the service points of HSL or given to bus drivers, who will pass them on to HSL.

So, the period of November and December is the last time that you can come to look for your lost property. At the end of December, all existing lost property will be taken from the storerooms of AYY for recycling or waste collection.

3.    AYY is looking for a Service Manager

That’s why we’re looking for a Service Manager for the new task who gets stuck in and has organisational abilities, to supplement our ranks.

In your role, you’ll work in the specialist team of the Student Union under the General Secretary. You’ll be responsible for leading, developing and standardising the housing and member services, and we hope that you have experience and a vision about how to develop services. You will get clear support from management for service strategy work, and your actions will be guided by the Direction of the Student Union background paper and our new property strategy. An understanding of the rental activity of housing will help you in your work. As the Service Manager, you will act as a motivational manager for the housing office and the workers of the member service points. The work requires a fluent proficiency in Finnish.

The application process is open until 30.11. at:  https://atalent.fi/avoimet-tyopaikat/palvelupaallikko/

14.                  The Child Welfare Support Person Operations of the City of Helsinki are looking for new volunteers for a course at the beginning of the year!

Support people are dependable adults who are willing and able to commit themselves, whose life situation is stable and life management in order. The children and young people to be supported are aged 7-18 and those supported are met around twice a month. Often those supported want active and functional people as their support people, with whom different kinds of activities are made possible. In addition, support people are required to have patience, many kinds of perseverance and broad-mindedness, as well as an ability to co-operate.

Support person action is a rewarding use of time and we already have more than 200 support people in Helsinki. At the moment, there is an acute shortage of male support people in particular! Would you be the volunteer that we’re looking for? You’ll get training for the role from us, as well as continued support after that.

If you’re interested, get in touch: ls-tukihenkilotoiminta@hel.fi or call: Piia Vanhatalo 09 310 43 794/ Mari Mehtonen 09 310 43112, and we’ll guide you onwards!

8.    Change the future of the campus – fill in the user satisfaction survey!

You are most welcome to take the Aalto CRE customer and user satisfaction survey concerning the development of campus areas! The user satisfaction survey for university staff and students is available from 3 November to 18 November 2016. https://maptionnaire.com/en/1488/

The users of the premises are the best experts on their operational environment. By participating in this survey, you can make a difference on how the campus areas are developed. Based on the results of previous user satisfaction surveys, we have, for example, invested in work site communications and improved pedestrian and cycling routes. Through taking the survey you are entered into a lottery and could win a Jopo-bicycle. Further information on Into: https://maptionnaire.com/en/1488/
