There are five sections in AYY: Teekkari Section, Community Section Aava, Campus Section, Museum Section and Advocacy Management Group (more commonly known as EduJory). This an next year, we also have AYY10 section and year 2020 we will have a new section called Section for Artistic Activities (formerly Steering Group for Artistic Activities).
Sections are the lively beating heart of the Aalto community activities. The ideas of the sections enrich the student culture and bring colour to the campus. The workload of a member of a section is a few hours a week. In connection with events and projects, more workhours may be required. A member of the section may also have a committee to lead, which also takes time.
This year, the call for applications for section chairs is open from 1 Nov until 30 Nov. To serve as the chair of a section, you will need enthusiasm and motivation, a work-oriented approach and a willingness to lead a group of volunteers for a year.
The chairs select from five to ten members to their sections, who are responsible for an event or project to be executed during the year. The Museum Section is an exception, which is open for applications throughout the year. The term of office of the Museum Section members is three years. EduJory is led by the AYY board member in charge of academic affairs. AYY board member in charge of artistic activities selects section of artistic activities and the section chair will be chosen in the first meeting of the year.
Sections are close teams, groups of friends, that share the joys and sorrows throughout the year and spend a lot of leisure time together. The sections meet approximately once a week.
