Back to campus? Not quite yet, not before some proper late summer beach time! 🌊
Aalto EA and EAHY are throwing a beach party on Saturday 29 August, from 6 p.m. onwards at Mustikkamaa beach. Come enjoy music and dancing, volleyball, frisbee, and swimming, and meet new and familiar faces before the academic year kicks off — and potentially a confusing figure or two. Guess who?
See you there! :) ❤️

Call for tablers
Aalto EA has tables at four events in the coming two weeks and there's some time slots for tablers still to be filled. It would be good to have at least three tablers present. Having more than three tablers is better and filling in for someone with a lot of shifts would also be good. Feel free to take a shift by filling in the sheet with you name or by sending a message here or to @sofi_julia
At the table we'll have a Trolley Problem game along with signups to the Welcome Night, Intro Program, and the Telegram channel. We'll also have hot chocolate and cookies and the possibility to buy patches. We will have a tent so rain isn't an issue and we'll have a few chairs. Here's the sheet.
