1. Prepare for the May Day closure!

HYY’s organisational premises at the New Student House, Domus Gaudium and Mechelininkatu 3D are closed for safety reasons every May Day. Because of this closure, all events must end and the premises be empty by 5 pm on 30 April. The premises will remain closed until 10 am on 1 May.

During the closure, hanging out in the buildings and premises or passing through them is not permitted. However, if your organisation needs to access the premises for some reason, to prepare for a sillis breakfast or pick up stuff in the morning, for instance, this needs to be agreed separately. Please note that consuming alcoholic drinks is forbidden in all of the premises during the closure.

To be granted access to the premises, you will need to send a list of the names of everyone who needs access to the premises along with the times when they will be there. Send the list of names and times by email to toimisto@hyy.fi by Thursday 24 April. We will forward the information to Securitas on Friday 25 April. The representatives of Securitas will remove anyone whose name has not been submitted to HYY in advance from the premises.

If you have any questions about the closure, please contact HYY’s organisational services.

2. Flora’s Day is approaching, but there’s still time to sign up until April 27!

This year, Flora’s Day will be celebrated at the New Student House and Domus Gaudium on May 15 from 6 PM to 10 PM. The idea is to throw a party that takes over the entire building, and we hope many of you will join us in celebrating and making Flora’s Day happen! You can sign up until April 27, and the program can be anything you want—no pressure!

There’s also Flora’s Night coming up, organized by the Hämäläis-Osakunta! You definitely don’t want to miss that either!

Will we see you at Flora?

4. Submit the organisation’s introduction text – DL May 8

Would you like your organisation’s introduction text to appear on HYY’s website and in the student calendar? Please complete your details on the organisations’ contact form by May 8. If you have already filled out the form, please do not submit it again – instead, update your previous response.

5. What does day-to-day life look like at the student organizations? Take part in a photo collection!

‘Everyday life at the University’ is a campaign to collect photos taken by members of the University community of their everyday work or studies. The campaign is open until May 31st. More information and the collection form are available in the Studies Service.

6. Order overall badges from Kangasmerkit.com!

Organisations operating under HYY receive a 7.5 % discount on the normal price and delivery without express delivery surcharge. To order, email info@kangasmerkit.com, mention the order code “merkit ❤” to take advantage of the discount!

7. Would you like to sell your organisation’s overall badges through HYY’s Services Office?

Does your organisation have gorgeous overall badges but no opportunities to sell them? We have a solution for you! HYY is launching an overall badge brokerage service, allowing organisations operating under it to have their badges sold at HYY’s Services Office. HYY will take a 10% commission on sold badges to cover the costs caused by the brokerage. Sales revenue will be paid to the organisations twice a year.
