Place: lecture hall U4, Otakaari 1

13:00-15:00 Aalto Day One

Dear new Aalto member,

If it weren’t the situation as it is at the moment, we would be hanging out together and having a blast with all new friends and fellows. But it is what it is, so let’s meet online instead!

Aalto Day One stands for the traditional opening ceremony and parties in the beginning of the new academic year. We are happy to invite you to its virtual version at aalto.fi/dayone on Tuesday 1 September at 13.00.

Let’s start with a warm-up before the opening ceremony! Our students Milja, Kaisa and Rebecca will host the party for you from our campus studio. DJ Henqi from the AaltoDJ community plays music throughout the warm-up.

Primary link for the warm-up party: https://aalto.zoom.us/j/67304223186?pwd=OVNRK2JXcjBwcXJjNVFIUlFIYWp3dz09

First come, first served :) This link is available for the first 500 guests.

But don’t you worry! If the warm-up party link above is full, you can use this one instead (opened when over 500 participants attend): https://aalto.zoom.us/j/62995020954?pwd=aHlIZlgrQWNsdUZQSnpjKzBIWmlVQT09
