Come join Condus!
Student organization work is the best way to spend your student years! Condus needs fantastic people to join our team and you may be just the person, whose excitement, hard work and good vibes we need. You do not need to be knowledgeable or know how to do anything from before – what’s most important is an interest to make Condus’s student rights activity, events, environmental awareness, internationality, financial, tutoring, equality, chairmanship or even communications better and fantastic! Student organizational work can bring you not only new friends and fun experiences, but also some fundamental skills in your work life. As you may have noticed, these past few weeks we have used Instagram to introduce all the various people working within our organization this year, each with their own set of strengths and skills, so really all kinds of people are welcome. If some area of our work interests you even the slightest and you’d like to know more, please contact hallitus[a]condus.fi or the email of that specific field of interest on our website.
Condus’s board will be voted in the 12th of November. This is when next years chairman and board are elected. Responsibilities are shared and decided at the beginning of the next year during the first meeting of that year.

10.-24.11. HYY 150 FEST
Right before the big anniversary party a student culture festival gathers together organizations, nations and committees of the Student union of the University of Helsinki! The program includes conserts, escape rooms, food festivals, clubs and seminars on university campuses and around Helsinki. The festivities culminate on November 24th when the Student Union HYY celebrates its 150th anniversary. The after party will be held at the nightclub Circus (starring Olavi Uusivirta!) and there will also be a traditional silliaamiainen or sillis on Sunday morning. (Silliaamiainen is a traditional breakfast or brunch served after all the anniversary festivities. The traditional silliaamiainen or “sillis” is the place to be. Fun fact: the literal translation of “silliaamiainen” would be “herring breakfast”, but despite the name there will also be other dishes than herring served!)
