TietokiltaWappu is fast approaching, and this week we can already start enjoying the atmosphere by signing up for multiple sitsit! In addition to sitsit, there will also be events such as game nights. In May, AYY will celebrate its 15th anniversary, and the registration for the annual ball, open to everyone, will open in mid-April. If your overalls are not yet Wappu-ready, the exam week will be topped off with the Otaniemi overall patch fair.
Best regards,
Julia Raiko
Head of Communications, Tietokilta ry
