Dear alumni! On behalf of TKT-alumni association: welcome.
Year 2013 is going to be busy: we are arranging more events this year than ever before indicating that we are growing and developing. For a number of years we were also the one and only association in our faculty; fortunately, last year the chemists started their own alumni association. We are very pleased to have their company because the more the merrier. The future bodes well for both of us, our departments, the faculty and, of course, University of Helsinki. We are active alumni in a living university.
During the Spring we has at least the following activies planned.
Kumpula science campus will be holding its annual alumni evening March, 21st, 4:30pm-8:30pm. The department of computer science and TKT-alumni have arranged program in the Exactum building from 4:30pm until 5:45pm. The association’s event will showcase speakers from selected professional networks – we feel strongly that networking is a key to success. The event is held in class CK112 from 5:05pm till 5;45pm.
The faculty program start 6pm in the Physicum building. Come to meet old colleagues and to acquaint yourself with the latest research. Last year there were 400 alumni; this year, hopefully more!
Place:
Kumpula science campus, Gustaf Hällströmin katu 2B, Helsinki (Exactum); and Gustaf Hällströmin katu 2A, Helsinki (Physicum).

There are only a limited number of places available, so, please, register by Friday, 15th March to mikko dot waris at iki dot fi.
On the first Thursday of every month the association will be holding Alumniale at Oluthuone Kaisla in Kluuvi. The next events are in April 4th and May 2nd. There are always alumni present in those, so don’t hesitate to join us. Welcome!
We are already planning the Autumn activities.
Successfully acquiring members is an essential function of every association. Hence, we wil be participating in the next TKO-äly “fuksiaiset” by holding a “fuksirasti” for freshmen. It is most fun for the freshmen and for those who are judging their performances.
Already for the fifth time, Syksyn startup in Exactum, provisionally in September. Syksyn startup has been an evening with alumni members giving presentations from varying subjects, such as startups (obviously), financing, weather, going international, gaming, robots and algorithms as a service. Every time we have managed to hold an exiting and uplifting event and this year will not be any different.
Come to enjoy the presentations – or perhaps you will be presenting something to us.
Finally, in November, we will be having a gala this year to celebrate our five years in existence. More information about it will be given in the future.
Best regards,
Jorma Korkiakoski
