Discmania x AthleTiKs discgolf tournament

AthleTiKs Discgolf Tournament is here again!

Bring a friend and come try it out and enjoy some relaxed throwing. Not only can you come just to get familiar with and try out the sport, but the best players will also be rewarded with awesome Discmania products! After the round, we'll play mini-games where everyone also has a chance to win Discmania prizes.

Don't have any discs? Don't worry, we are able to lend few discs for every participant. In addition, this year women also have the opportunity to play in their own division and compete against each other!

The tournament will be held at the 20-hole Puolarmaari discgolf course on Thursday, May 15th starting at 6 PM. The course is beginner-friendly and perfect for a laid-back evening and some light throwing.

AYY & Aalto

Graduation Ceremony Feedback

Aalto University will transition to digital degree certificates this autumn, after which the official certificate will only be issued in electronic form. This shift also gives the university an opportunity to renew its graduation celebrations.

As the transition is still ahead, there is still a chance to influence the practices of the graduation ceremony and the items distributed during the event. At the moment, no decision has been made on what will be handed out to graduates at the ceremony. AYY, together with the guilds and student associations, has previously published a joint statement in support of keeping the physical certificate folder. Now you also have the opportunity to share your opinion by answering this survey!

The survey results will be sent to the Dean, Vice Dean, and Head of Academic Affairs of the School of Science. Please respond by Monday 19.5.
