1.2 Welcome to Enjoy the Active Student Life at Laurea Polytechnic!
LAUREAMKO - the Student Union of Laurea Polytechnic - welcomes you to commence your studies at Laurea Polytechnic.
The academic year 2002-2003 contains a great deal of events and happenings at Laurea as well as at the national level. Past and future parties will be discussed in and outside the School. Just for example the biggest and best parties of the semester, like the Freshmen Party 2002, which will be held in Helsinki on 11 September. We hope that all our new students will participate in this unforgettable Event in which you will have the best possibilities of making new friends at your school. Make sure you acquire your tickets in time, as during the previous years the tickets have always been sold out.
Other student parties like the famous AMK-Club will be held during the autumn (4.9, 9.10, 6.11 and 4.12) at Latour Nightclub Premier in Helsinki. There is more information available for example on our Web pages www.laureamko.net.
The main task of LAUREAMKO is to promote and secure the common interests and rights as well as improve the well being of the students at Laurea Polytechnic. Watching interests is an ongoing process, which is enhanced by having student representation in all major working groups within Laurea Polytechnic. This is the way we get our voice heard just where the decisions are made. However, even we are not perfect and cannot always see and hear everything. That is why we also need your help. If you think that you have been treated in an inappropriate way, call or e-mail us! This way we can correct the mistakes and ensure that no one else will face the same situation again. Remember that things will not get better if you only let them be instead of improving them yourself.
LAUREAMKO is a member of SAMOK - the Union of Finnish Polytechnic Students. When you join your Student Union, you will automatically become a member of SAMOK. It really is worth joining as you will get the Student Card that will entitle you to several benefits and discounts. You can print out the Student Card order form from our Web pages.
The task of SAMOK is to promote the interests and to secure the rights of polytechnic students at the national level. LAUREAMKO is working with the same tasks inside Laurea Polytechnic and its sections within each Institute are dealing with the local activities. In LAUREAMKO, matters are taken care of by the Board. We also have a Secretariat working full-time for the members of the Student Union. So in most cases, there is someone who you can reach and who can answer your questions. Our Secretary General is together with the Chairman responsible for contacts with Laurea administration and other contacts plus the financing of the Student Union. As our Secretary General is extremely busy, we wish that you would also contact the Members of the Board, who are pleased to help with problems concerning studying and for example the Student Cards.
We have thousands of members, and we believe that among them there are experts from several fields and lots of active students. If you are interested in improving Student Union activity for example in form of different clubs, bands, floorball league or something else or you wish to become a Member of the Board in the Student Union, feel free to contact LAUREAMKO or the section operating in your Institute. You can call, send an e-mail or leave feedback via our Web pages. The new Board for the Student Union will be elected in November, so be active and stay tuned for the information. Active participation in student activities is fun and it may also be useful for you in your future career.
We wish you a happy, interesting and eventful study time at Laurea Polytechnic. Grasp on to challenges that are offered.
