Welcome to Council meeting on Tuesday 5th of October at 5pm! The meeting will be held at TAMK’s Main Campus. All Tamko members are welcome! You can also get a stamp on your Tursaspassi from this event. More info on the Facebook event. Please note that the meeting is held in Finnish.
2. Tursajaiset 13 October
This year Tursajaiset will be organized on Thursday, 13th of October. The event is a traditional welcoming event for all new students of TAMK. The daytime event is free for all new students. We will start the event at midday (12 p.m.) from TAMK main square (the square at the Teiskontie side) and after group formation, we will march together to Keskustori (Tampere Town Square) where new students will pledge the new student’s vow, called Tursasvala. After the vow, our whole group will move together towards the mysterious Tursasland.
The daytime activities will end at 7 p.m. This year the after party will be held in two places: Ravintolamaailma and Bricks. The group with the most points will be awarded at the after party. Tickets were sold out on 28th of September but we’ll get more tickets to Bricks on next week to Kide.app, so stay tuned! Tickets are 6€ from Kide.app, and 9€ at the door.
The overall badges will be given at the after parties as long as there are badges to give. If you don’t want to purchase a ticket and come to the after party, you can buy the overall badge from the info point at daytime event. Overall badge will cost 2€ at the daytime event.
All Tamko events are harassment free. Tamko’s harassment contacts are available at the event. They can also be reached afterwards via email at harassment(at)tamko.fi.
3. Cinnamon roll day 4 October
What a lovely smell of coffee and cinnamon roll, but… where is it coming from? Well, from Solu of course! Tamko is offering coffee and cinnamon roll on national cinnamon roll day 4th October at 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. (or as long as there are enough cinnamon rolls!) at Tamko’s office. The event is also Bonus 1 Tursaspassi event. And if you cannot make it this time, there are still several cinnamon roll days to come!
4. Tolu’s weekly sports shift 5 October
Welcome all to Tolu’s drop-in sports shift October 5th from 5p.m. to 7p.m. to Kuntokatu 3, L-building sports hall. This time we’re playing handball. You don’t need SportUni membership in order to attend, just say you’re coming to Tolu’s weekly sport shift at the customer service desk. All TAMK students and employees are welcome to the shift.
