PROJECT COMMITTEES KY HAS PROJECT COMMITTEES THAT WORK ON A SPECIFIC MATTER. RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE TWO PROJECT COMMITTEES: ANNUAL BALL COMMITTEE AND TEKNISTÄ. THE ANNUAL BALL COMMITTEE IS RECRUITED EACH YEAR IN THE AUTUMN TO ORGANIZE THE UPCOMING ANNUAL BALL. TEKNISTÄ IS A MORE STABLE COMMITTEE WITH LESS CHANGES AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL TECHNOLOGY-RELATED STUFF AT KY. THE PROJECT COMMITTEES ARE OFTEN ASSEMBLED FOR SPECIFIC PROJECTS, SO STAY TUNED TO SEE IF NEW ONES ARE FORMED DURING YOUR YEARS AT KY!
Annual Ball Committee KY’s Annual ball is the single most glamorous event of the year and the highlight of the Annual Ball week held between the end of February and the beginning of March. The traditional event cherishes KY’s centennial history and celebrates our strong community. In 2021 the Annual Ball was held remotely because of the pandemic situation. This did not deter the celebrations for KY’s 110 year long history but allowed for a new, creative take on the celebrations, allowing KY’s associations and members to commemorate the
64
KY Spirit together and apart. Participants got into the spirit with cocktails and a traditional three course meal to simulate the traditional program of the evening. The Annual ball is organized by the Annual Ball Committee chosen during the autumn, usually around October. The committee is open for everyone regardless of their academic year or KY background. Usually the committee consists of 7-9 members who all have different responsibilities, including one chair. Responsibilities include for example catering, programm, invitations, corporate relations and communications. Even though the Annual Ball is hands down the most traditional event of the year, each committee can add enough personal touch to make it look like their own!
TEKNISTÄ :D TEKNISTÄ :D is KY’s technical background engine. Nothing works without technology nowadays, and that is why TEKNISTÄ :D exists. The project team is responsible for keeping KY’s hardware and software environments in check; be it an audio-visual installation, website, network environment, building automation or anything else that needs to be fiddled with. Whenever you use the internet at KY premises, see moving pictures or hear music, TEKNISTÄ :D is behind them. TEKNISTÄ :D does things with a can-do attitude, good team spirit, and a healthy dose of low-quality humor!
