1. Get your PT’s membership
If you didn’t pay the membership fee for Prosessiteekkarit, you can fill the membership application herehttps://prosessiteekkarit.fi/en/membership/. The payment information will be sent to your email address.
2. PT’s weekly newsletter for members You can join the PT mailing list at https://list.ayy.fi/mailman/listinfo/pt-info. 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 linkhttps://t.me/+7hR6OekaJ0owMTU0. The group is for both formal information and informal discussion. Please read the group rules when you join the chat.
In addition, PT has its own one-way information channel on Telegram, which works with the same principle as Captains’ Inform. It’s used for informing about events and condensing the weekly newsletter for all members. You can follow the information channel herehttps://t.me/+n-rYO6zze2sxNzQ8. 4. PT x TiK Regular Sport Sessions Pack your indoor shoes and head to the ball sports hall of Otahalli every thursday at 21-22! There you will be able to play ball games with TiK and other PT members. Next time we'll be playing basketball or badminton. The sport will change every week.
5. Pay the students’ healthcare fee if you haven’t already! In 2022, the student healthcare fee in higher education is EUR 35.80 per term. It is paid to Kela once per term (spring and autumn), i.e., twice a year. Students are not billed for the fee but are expected to pay it on their own initiative. The amount that must be paid is defined in a Government Decree and may vary from year to year. More information can be found herehttps://www.kela.fi/web/en/healthcare-fee-for-students-in-higher-education. The deadline for the payment was 30.9. but you can still do it if you didn’t already!

V Greetings
Anna: Right, so it seems like school started :D Last week was spent mostly in organising larger fuksi events, it was wonderful to see so many familiar faces at Tuesday’s Aalto Party and Thursday’s CityOrienteering! I spent the weekend practicing my Swedish skills at TF’s Phuxintagning, based on which I should probably retake my Swedish language course :)) Luckily next week is Annual Ball week and we finally get to celebrate our 10-year-old association! In honour of this, we could spend this week listening to the unofficial favourite song of the association, Paramore’s Misery Businesshttps://open.spotify.com/track/3l9CW99AHtExIRV4hW2N5m?si=3879d2c6dacc419a.
Eetu: Actual school has now started! All my courses seemed pretty chill, and I’m actually genuinely having a good time going to school! Last week as a whole was great, and it has been very nice seeing you at pHuone! Next week it’s time for Lämmönsiirto week, and I'm really looking forward to celebrating our Associations 10th annual ball! This weekend I’ve been focused on my wellbeing, and I’m sure next week I’ll want to also :D.
