2.     PT’s weekly newsletter for members

You can join the PT mailing list at https://list.ayy.fi/postorius/lists/pt-info.list.ayy.fi/ . This mailing list is used to inform members about upcoming events and other current affairs. A weekly bulletin is sent to the list every Monday, and by reading it actively you will be aware of the current student activities of the association and the rest of Otaniemi.

 

3.     PT’s Telegram-group and information channel

Do you want to follow and participate in discussions regarding all PT members? Do you want to hear the ideas and thoughts of students from other classes as well? To do this, there is #PT, a common Telegram group to all PT members.

You can join the General Discussion Group #PT on Telegram from this link. The group is for both formal information and informal discussion. Please read the group rules when you join the chat.

Anna: Hihii, new year, new beginnings!  The year has started off with a blast and it feels like we're already  hitting the ground running, but it's plenty of fun to be back at it again ;) On Thursday we'll get to orienteer and next week we'll have FTMK putting on their best show for the Winter, i promise it's worth coming to even just for the overall patch! All my new volunteer work keeps me busy, but it's great to see so many of you involved in all the different committees, this is going to be a great year <3 In honour of that, we could lull ourselves to the rhythm of a new year's classic, Abba's Happy New Year, for this week!
