White overalls sitsit of AK, FK, SIK, Prodeko and the Faculty of Medicine 28.3.
| CHIRP! CHIRP!
Spring Sun is heating up and the sides of the pavement are wet from the melting snow. A surreptitious sound echoes from the bushes and behind the slight straws shows through a pair of smooth bulges. One of these ovals begins to wobble accelerating to serious jerking. A hard knock cracks the delicate shell and a tiny furry head peaks out from the egg. CHIRP! A nose twitches in a crack sniffing the air. Bunny comes out of the hole having its beautiful fur shine in the sun. Gentle tussock offers the bunny an excellent place to enjoy the warmth. All of a sudden, a huge shadow covers the sun, but as swiftly it appeared, it rolled over to the grassy jungle. Cottontail lifts its gaze alertly, ready for the upcoming race. JOIN US IN THE EGG HUNT! Bunnies and chicks invite the students of AK, FK, SIK, Prodeko and the Faculty of Medicine in their white overalls to celebrate Spring in Smökki, March 28th. Cocktail event begins at 18.00 and the sitsit at 18.30. Grab along some furry ears or a beak for embellishment. The sign up begins on March 13th at 12.00 and closes on March 20th at 23.59, after which it is binding. Every guild has reserved spots for the sitsit. The sitsit costs 13 €.

Student tutor search open till 23.3!
| Student tutors help new students to get to know Aalto and the study culture in Arts and their own programmes. By being a tutor you can get new friends, gain new skills and make Aalto a good place to study for new students! Tutors work in teams at the departments supported by the faculty and student organizations. Tutors’ tasks: – The mission is to support, help to get into the group and help to a smooth start – 3 hour training in the spring (options: 17.4., 18.4., 25.4. or 26.4., either at 9-12 or 15-18) – ARTS tutors meeting in the spring (approximately 2 hours) – Planning the welcome of new students with others related – Contacting the new students in the summer and answering questions – Participating in the orientation week and starting events, such as tutor group meetings Tutoring should not interfere with tutor’s studies. Tutors can do a 1 ECT course based on their experience by participating in the trainings and returning a short report on their learning. All departments have a tutor responsible to support other tutors and we aim to find more than one tutor for each programme. Part of the tutors can act as specialized tutors for international students. In addition to the task list, we expect them to take part in a short extra training, to support getting settled to Finland and to give a bit more help and guidance. For this extra trouble a 200 € reward is paid. Task doesn’t require prior knowledge. Some of the international tutors can continue their work to cover students arriving in January, and an extra reward will be paid.Sign up: http://bit.ly/2Fkd9NLFor more information: Susanna Koistinen Study coordinator susanna.koistinen@aalto.fi |

The courses consist of two weekday evenings of class teaching taking place at the end of April (usually at 5-9pm depending on the availability of teaching facilities) and of a practical on board course in groups of 2 to 4 students with two instructors during May/June – the boats are harboured in Ruoholahti, The practical part usually takes place during two weekday evenings and a weekend (Sat-Sun) when opting for overnight trip course you will be staying at a harbour somewhere in the capital region archipelago for a night (or two) on board the boat. Please see the more specific course times and dates for each small group below. The small groups that may be taught in English will be separately indicated. Common theory-evenings for all courses on 2 evenings in April from 5 pm to 9 pm. Theory evenings will be held at Aalto Design Factory in adress: Betonimiehenkuja 3, 02150 Espoo. Dates and times are provisional and we reserve the right to make changes to the information stated below.
