Guild

Apply for guild committees!

Applications for committees are now open!

The year is rapidly coming to an end, and now it's time to find members for next year's committees! Committee roles are perfect for guild members who want to participate in guild activities with a low threshold and leave their mark on the guild.

There is plenty to do in the committees, so everyone is sure to find something meaningful to do. There are no rigid rules, so under the guidance of the committee chairs, you can make next year completely your own! All freshers and older students should read through the list and feel free to apply to the committees that interest them!

The application period for the committees is open until the end of December, when the committee chairs will form the committees. You can still apply to the committees after this by sending a message to the committee chairs.

You can find the committees and application forms here!

Christmas baking and games night

Christmas is fast approaching and the hunger for Christmas foods is growing, so come join us on December 9th at the village living room to enjoy the Christmas spirit, bake cookies and Christmas tarts (joulutorttu), play games from the gaming committee, or just relax after TiKchristmas!

You can bake and decorate alone or in small groups, either way the dough will be distributed to small groups. We recommend bringing your own gingerbread cookie molds and a rolling pin (which we don’t have many of). If you want to take your baked goods home you should also bring a container.

The sign-up is meant to estimate the amount of ingredients needed, and it’s not binding or mandatory. So if you want to bake make sure to sign up! We will also take into account the allergies and diets from the sign-up into account.

Sign-up open now!

TL;DR:
WHAT? Games and Christmas baking!
WHERE? Village Living Room (Jämeräntaival 5A)
WHEN? Tuesday 9.12. at 17-22

AYY & Aalto

Aalto Founder Talks #4

What if one garage-built prototype could change how millions work? Before Framery became a workplace essential, it was just a student’s wild idea. Today, it has grown into the world’s first office pod, a billion-euro company, and a newly Nasdaq-listed global leader.

Meet Samu Hällfors, Founder & CEO of Framery. He’s joining Aalto Founder Talks to share how he turned a small frustration into a new product category, and what he learned from years of setbacks, near-bankruptcies, and rebuilding from scratch. No polished highlight reel, just the real grit, failures, and breakthroughs that usually stay inside a founder’s head.

Sign up now and dig into the mind of a founder who made it happen.
● Date and time: Thursday, December 11, 2025, 16:00–17:30
● Venue: Marsio, Otakaari 2
● Host: Aalto Founder School
