Acknowledgements were awarded at AYY’s 16th annual ball
Each year, AYY awards various acknowledgements to outstanding members of the Aalto community. The badges of merit and honour are awarded for active contributions in support of AYY and its objectives. In addition to the badges, AYY also grants other acknowledgements to members of the Aalto community and to actions that have impacted the community.
AYY has three types of badges of merit and honour: the community badge, the badge of merit, and the badge of honour. In addition, AYY has a special acknowledgement, the hero badge. A miniature flag and AYY’s sash may also be awarded. Other annual forms of acknowledgement include the Aalto Athlete of the Year, Learning Promotion Deed, International Deed, and Sustainability Deed. At irregular intervals, AYY Seal of Approval may also be granted.
