Committees

Academic Affairs Committee KOVA

KY’s Academic Affairs Committee, KOVA, is responsible for supervising student interests, taking part in academic discussion and cooperation with Aalto BIZ. Our goal is to improve studies and to ensure that daily university life runs smoothly. For example, KOVA maintains the studies page (ky.fi/studies) where you can find useful information related to your studies. While you’re there, be sure to check out the Fringe Study Guide, where you’ll be able to leave feedback on courses and see what other students think of various courses. KOVA shares regular study tips on KY’s Instagram about various topics such as how to be more productive when studying remotely, so be sure to stay tuned. The committee also organizes events, like Proffa-lauluilta, where students have the opportunity to get to know their professors in a festive setting. Conducting surveys is similarly important to ensure student wellbeing, quality education and to determine who’s worthy of the Teacher of the Year award!

Corporate Relations Committee CORE

CORE helps you decide what you want to be when you grow up. We make sure that KY members know about all the available career opportunities and help to reach the best of them. As our name CORE suggests, we manage KY’s corporate relations. We serve our partnering companies and help them to reach KY’s talented members. The most visible part of CORE’s work are our career focused events, most of which are also open for Mursus! Being a part of CORE is incredibly beneficial for its members. Each member manages the partnership of at least one partner of KY. This develops the members’ business communication and organizational skills and grants professional contacts within a desired company. In addition, CORE’s members get to polish their negotiation skills by looking for new partners and benefits. Come to our events and take a leap on your career!

Cultural Committee KUVA

“The best thing about the Cultural Committee, KUVA, is the way the committee forms into a family of 18 people in a short period of time. KUVA has offered me some of the best moments in my student life that I’ll cherish forever. Therefore, I just had to experience it a second time.” - Topi Ronkainen, KY Board member responsible for Culture As you may have noticed, KY’s calendar is full of different events and activities. Their purpose is to bring students together, build our community stronger and offer unforgettable moments for all KY members. Many of these amazing events ranging from pub crawls to lauluilta dinners and the Wappu Parade are organised by KY’s Cultural Committee, KUVA. KUVA’s mission is to uphold and advance KY’s culture, and to do so in great company and spirit. KUVA truly is in the heart of KY spirit, and all of its 18 members get to enjoy the best parts of culture. With teamwork and a great group of friends, KUVA organises all of these events for all KY members, whilst living the dream student life.

Masters’ Committee

Thought everything ends when you’re celebrating your Bachelor’s graduation? Think again, because there’s still two (maybe more) years left in your academic life, and Masters’ Committee is here to make the most of our time as Master’s students! Masters’ Committee organizes events where every MSc student can come relax and network with people across all different majors. Whether it’s a casual hangout, an excursion, or a sparkling gala, there’s always something interesting to do, and new people to meet. The Committee members are both experienced KY actives who still want more to do, as well as fresh faces who are still interested in volunteering during the later stages of their studies. Maybe this is your next Master’s year, who knows? We hope to see many of you in our upcoming autumn events, so stay alert. Let’s have an unforgettable time together!

Tutor Committee

Likely, your first touch to KY and the School of Business has been your very own tutor. Tutor Committee, TC, recruits and trains all the new tutors to lead you, mursus, to the world of Aalto, academia, KY and memorable student life. The main goal for TC is to make sure that all tutors are top-notch and can create a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for the new students, while creating amazing experiences for themselves too. TC organizes all tutor events such as Tutor Cottage to create an unforgettable journey for the new tutors. This year TC consists of Tutor Coordinator, eight committee members, and KY Board’s new students representative. Committee members are either responsible for Bachelor’s, Exchange, or Master’s tutors and while supporting these tutors, they learn valuable project and team management skills. TC is always ready to help with any questions on tutoring!

Sports and Wellbeing Committee LiHy

Need some balance in your life alongside all the partying? The Sports and Wellbeing Committee LiHy is luckily here to the rescue! LiHy organizes a wide range of events to support students’ physical and mental wellbeing and to build a stronger KY community. The events can vary from anything a KY member might need to balance out the student life, whether it was a puppy event, a wine-and-dine evening, a multidisciplinary biking adventure, or a hiking trip to beautiful Lapland. The 10 members of the most energetic Committee of KY can be recognized from their swag pink, white-striped retro jackets and caps. LiHy’s goal is to provide students with unforgettable memories – and of course, to have fun at the same time!
