1. International student – participate in AYY’s survey and help develop health care services and health insurances!

AYY is conducting a survey for the international students of Aalto University and the University of Helsinki on the use of healthcare services and health insurances in Finland. Your input is extremely important for the success of the survey. The results will be used both domestically and on the municipal level to influence different service providers to better take into account the needs of international students and to improve communication channels for international students. The health insurance recommended by Finnish authorities for non-EU/EEA students will be competitively re-tendered by a national agency this year, and it is important that the students’ experiences on the insurances are considered in the competitive tendering process.

Filling out the survey takes about 15 minutes and many prices (e.g. gift cards) will be drawn between the participants. The survey is open until 7.4.2017. All information is handled confidentially and the results will be reported anonymously. The study is conducted by the Research foundation for studies and education, Otus.

More information and the link to the survey: /blog/2017/03/15/international-student-participate-in-the-survey-and-help-develop-health-care-services-and-health-insurances/

4. AYY apartments open to all students

Since the teaching at Aalto University is focusing more and more on the Otaniemi campus, there are not enough AYY members with a right of residence applying for our apartments in East Helsinki. That is why AYY is now making some of its apartment groups in East Helsinki open to all students, regardless of their place of study.

There are a limited number of apartments, so act fast and tell your friends about them. More information can be found in this announcement: /en/blog/2017/03/23/ayy-apartments-open-to-all-students/

6. AYY Branding presents: Crash Course to Branding 10.4.

FB-event: https://www.facebook.com/events/200609730432953/

What on earth is this branding that everyone is talking about? How on earth does a brand affect the community’s operations and what does a brand actually contain? And, above all, how on earth are brands created, renewed and managed?

AYY, along with Futurice and Aalto Marketing Society, the student organization for marketing students, will answer all these questions during the big branding day held on April the 10^th. Has your association lost sight of its purpose? Does your association look a bit scruffy? Is a new brand an all-encompassing solution to all of your problems? Are you interested in branding in general?

We will go through various interesting brand cases during the day and give you advice on how YOU can improve your association’s/company’s/your own brand. You will also learn how AYY’s brand is going to change this year and can influence the building of AYY‘s brand!

More information will follow soon, save the date!

Remember to also answer the brand survey here:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeiSZPVlRQqTYAFbT35bAwry85URNAj1tvVsp4wbNxMoBAGNA/viewform

If you are interested in following the branding work in the future as well, we have a regularly updated blog on how things are progressing. First posting can be found here: /blogi/2017/03/23/ayy-branding-1-0/

7. Answer the AYY survey about global competences

Answer the short AYY survey (max 5 mins) about global competences as a part of your studies.

How have your studies supported your intercultural communication skills? What is their significance to your future? AYY and Aalto are developing a joint project, the aim of which is to bring international competences into curriculum planning, learning goals and results in a more structured manner – and we need your help! https://www.webropolsurveys.com/Answer/SurveyParticipation.aspx?SDID=Fin1287070&SID=d5c3e639-d2e6-4acf-ba99-83b7fbc85a19&dy=1092008369

8. Spring’s grand opening: Aalto Open Air!

This year, the spring starts bigger than ever as Aalto Open Air takes over the campus area! Take all your friends with you and make your way to the Alvari Square on April 19^th!

At Alvari Square, you’ll find two stages where bands keep the atmosphere up.

24. Wappu Exchange on Sunday, the 23^rd of April 2017

Wappu is coming once again. The traditional events, Wappu sitsit and all that stuff, all that jam, but ah, it’s always the same. The feeling that some change, maybe even an exchangeship, would freshen you up, is familiar to both freshmen and seniors alike.

If this sounds familiar, then the Wappu exchange might be the thing for you! Why be content with the Otaniemi Wappu, when you can see how it’s done elsewhere? So, join our exchange to see the Tampere Teekkariwappu on Sunday, the 23^rd of April!

The merry bus ride to Hervanta leaves from Otaniemi at 11:00. At Hervanta, there will be a Wappuradio LIVE concert on the front lawn of TTY and the Academic Beer Pong World Championships at Bommari, with afterparties. You need not figure out a place to stay, though, since you can hop back on the bus and be safe and sound back at Otaniemi by 03:00 AM, with the bus leaving at 01:00 AM from Tampere.

Please note that you can sign up for the Beer Pong Tournament separately as the signup opens at 12:00 on the 17^th of April, but participating in the Wappu Exchange does not automatically get you signed up for the tournament!

The price for the entire exchange is 10€ per person, with the bus trip from Otaniemi to Hervanta and back. The 50 spots go to the fastest signups, which opens on Tuesday, the 4^th of April at 13:00 at https://lomake.ayy.fi/teekkarijaosto/wappuvaihto/.

Adacemic Engineers and Architects in Finland, more broadly known as TEK, encourages interaction between teekkari communities and is supporting the Wappu Exchange. Contact the teekkari sector correspondents Tyko Viertiö or Jonne Itäpuro if you have any questions.

25. Kyykkä Tournament on the 25th of April at 14:00

Why go to Tampere in the middle of the winter to practice some kyykkä, when you can throw skittles with the best of them in the wonderful, beautiful Otaniemi during spring? Gather a team and participate in the Wappu week kyykkä tournament on Tuesday, the 25^th of April at 14:00.

The tournament is open for the first 12 teams that sign up and is played in groups, after which there will be the semifinals followed by the final. A team can fit four players, and gender, stage-of-teekkarihat-raggedness or the color of your overalls hold no stake in this competition. The winners of the tournament will be richly rewarded with awards that will be announced later!

Because there’s no need to reinvent the wheel, we will use the Academic Kyykkä World Championship rules, which can be found at http://kyykka.fi/säännöt

The signup opens on the 5th of April at 12:00 and closes on the 20th of April at 23:45 at https://lomake.ayy.fi/teekkarijaosto/kevatkyykka-2017-spring-skittles-2017/.

After the tournament, there is a great opportunity to continue the evening with the Strong Songs Sauna organized by the Lukkari Committee Lutku at the Alvari Square Wappu Arena!

WHAT: The Spring Otaniemi Kyykkä tournament!
WHERE: Alvari Square in Otaniemi!
WHEN: Tuesday, the 25th of April, starting at 14.00

At the sale, there will be patches collectively from different associations and guilds in the AYY spectrum, where you can snag the best and snappiest ones to adorn your overalls with.

27. Volunteer to work for the Wappu Party 2017

The 2017 Wappu Party is held on the 30^th of April in Otaniemi, and the best party of the season requires a lot of staff! We need people for various tasks, including ticket sales, security, bartending, hauling, decorations, technical staff, food preparation and driving the van. Especially people with security certifications are sought for, so come boldly and get valuable experience on security work at this event!

Signups for work open on Monday, the 3^rd of April at 12:00 through this link!

https://lomake.ayy.fi/jtmk/tyontekijaksi-wappubileisiin-2017/

The staff receive free entry through a separate VIP door, an overall patch, one of the two required instances to be allowed to attach a pink ribbon, entry to the exclusive staff afterparty, and an Emergency Kit Wappu Basket to help you survive Ullanlinnanmäki on Wappu day! All staff will also receive a spot in the bus from Otaniemi straight to Ullis on the 1^st of May!
Possible questions can be sent to the party director at jtmk@list.ayy.fi. The signup sheet system closes once we’re full on employees, so speed is of the essence!

5. Answer the AYY Brand Survey by April the 9^th

AYY is undertaking systematic branding work now for the first time. Branding work isn’t just about logos and the visual outlook and their renewal; it is, if expressed in marketing jargon, an analytical and strategic process, where the core values of a brand are derived from a large quantity of data and creating a vision based on them: an identity and strategy. From this, concrete means of action are derived, and finally the brand is brought into use and its relevance and success are measured. Sounds hard to grasp? In practice, it means that instead of pondering on nice visuals, planning hoodie prints and coming up with snazzy slogans, it is about a lot more in-depth work.

Currently, we are in the process of creating a full and objective view on what the general state of AYY is. Branding does not mean merely a visual and communicational ‘sprucing up’, but pondering on the whole existence of AYY and considering the role of AYY in the student community, society and actually pretty much everything, in addition to communications and the visual outlook. This covers living, services, organization, visual outlook, identity, activities, culture, communications and pretty much every situation where AYY meets different parties or people.

The aim of this survey is to gain a large and comprehensive picture on what AYY agents, meaning YOU, think of AYY, its current state and what AYY should be like in the future. Based on the answers, we can create a picture on how AYY and its brand should be developed and how the points brought up by you can be made a reality. So, take care in answering, because your opinions will have a significant impact on the future of AYY!

Answer the survey here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeiSZPVlRQqTYAFbT35bAwry85URNAj1tvVsp4wbNxMoBAGNA/viewform

For those interested in following our brand work also in the future, we will publish regular blog posts about what is going on with the branding. In the first blog post, we will talk about the brand work in general and tell the latest news from the chairperson seminar. You can find the post here /blogi/2017/03/23/ayy-branding-1-0/?lang=en

FSHS invites all freshmen students for a health checkup, consisting of an electronic survey (Sätky) and, if necessary, a personal visit. You may answer the survey when FSHS has sent you the link to participate. We will inform you of sending the links very soon. The surveys are sent in several rounds, so don’t get worried if you are not among the first ones to receive one. You may visit the FSHS “Self” service to update your info on where to send the link.

Watch out on thin ice and slippery streets! Slipping and falling is the most common cause of pedestrian accidents during the winter, so be careful. Avoid hurry and reserve enough time for transfers. Good winter shoes are a must! Also, remember to wear a reflector during the dark hours of the day.

The season for stomach flu and influenza is well under way. Don’t infect others and take care of yourself. When sick, give yourself time to heal. Throw away used tissues, cough into your sleeve and keep washing your hands with soap. If you catch a dose of either disease, take care of yourself! Tips on how to do that can be found at the FSHS healthcare page, filled with knowledge fit for many situations. Click yourself to http://www.yths.fi/terveystieto_ja_tutkimus/terveystietopankki
