Campus Section
The Campus Section’s activities are roughly divided into four areas: events, projects, housing, and miscellaneous activities. In addition, the section also engages in advocacy by addressing any campus issues and actively influencing the activities of AYY housing and facility sector. Each Campus Section is unique, with new projects starting at the beginning of each year, and all section members having their individual portfolios, such as events, projects, or communications.
The Campus Section’s events reach their peak around Wappu, as the Declaration of Wappu Rowdiness, Flower Day, and Village Clean-Up keep the whole section busy. In addition, the annual calendar includes a variety of other events, such as campus saunas, flea market days, treasure hunts with different themes, and the Village Christmas Party at the end of the year.
Campus Section projects have included renovations and facelift renovations for AYY’s rental facilities, such as Pelimanni and Takkakabinetti, as well as outdoor areas on campus. The section actively collects project and development suggestions, which you can submit directly to section members or via email to the Campus Section’s mailing list kampusjaosto[at]ayy.fi.
The Campus Section also collaborates with the housing sector and castle wardens. A section member responsible for these areas strives to promote communal living and enhance overall living comfort with the rest of the section. This includes brainstorming and developing practical working methods within AYY, as well as organising various projects and competitions that engage the residents, such as the Kiva Kämppisteko (do something nice for your roommate) and Viilein seinämaalaus (coolest wall painting) competitions.
The communications officer is responsible for marketing the Campus Section’s activities and events to the community, as well as managing the section’s amazing Instagram account. Each Campus Section may include different portfolios in different years, depending on the focus for that particular year and the applicants' interests.
If you or your association have an idea and enthusiasm for carrying out a project or organizing an open event on campus, the Campus Section can provide support. Previous projects have included the construction of the Ossinlampi skating ramp and the Village LAN party. Please send your suggestion to the section’s mailing list at kampusjaosto[at]ayy.fi. The project must benefit the entire campus and be open and free of charge to everyone.
