COMMITTEES

KY HAS SIX DIFFERENT COMMITTEES THAT ARE LED BY KY OFFICE MEMBERS. ALL OF THESE COMMITTEES HAVE DIFFERENT RESPONSIBILITIES RANGING FROM CULTURE AND WELLBEING TO ACADEMIC AFFAIRS AND BOTH NEW MURSUS AND MASTERS’ STUDENTS. THESE RESPONSIBILITIES REFLECT WELL ON THE THINGS THE COMMITTEES DO AT KY SO STAY TUNED!

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 you reach the best of them. As our name CORE suggests, we manage KY’s corporate relations. We serve our partnering companies and help them reach KY’s talented members. The most visible part of CORE’s work are our career focused events and excursions, 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 communications and organizational skills, and gives them professional contacts from 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 in your career!

KOVA

KY’s Academic Affairs Committee, KOVA, defends students’ interests, takes part in academic discussion and upholds cooperation with Aalto BIZ. We aim to improve studies and to ensure that your daily life as an Aalto BIZ student runs smoothly. For example, KOVA maintains the KY’s studies page (ky.fi/studies) which helps you navigate through your degree. While you are there, be sure to check out the Fringe Study Guide where you’ll find honest thoughts of our courses. When you advance in your studies, please revisit to leave a review. KOVA regularly shares study tips on KY’ Instagram ranging from advice on wellbeing to tips on useful software available to the Aalto community, so be sure to stay tuned.

The committee also organizes events, like Proffa-lauluilta, where students have the opportunity to let loose with professors. Besides campaigning for better studies, KOVA oversees selecting and awarding the Teacher of the Year to celebrate the success of our professors. In addition, an essential part of their work is to conduct surveys to guarantee student wellbeing and high-quality education.

KUVA

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 17 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.

Need some balance in your life alongside all the partying and studying? The Sports and Wellbeing Committee LiHy is here to help! To build a stronger KY community, LiHy organizes a wide range of events to support students’ physical and mental wellbeing. Be it remotely or live, LiHy is here to make you feel better and make your student life more balanced. Our events vary from a puppy coffee break, a remote cake buffet, to a multidisciplinary biking adventure, or a hiking trip to beautiful Lapland.

The 14 members of the most energetic Committee of KY can be recognized from their sporty and vibrant orange-striped adidas jackets and socks. LiHy’s goal is to provide students with unforgettable memories - and of course, to have fun at the same time!

Who said living your student life to the fullest ends once you start working on your master’s degree? Masters’ Committee is here to help our beloved master’s students in making the most of the last two (or more) study years! MC organizes events where every master’s 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 are up for one more year, 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!
