3AMK reached out to students at orientation sessions
At the beginning of January, more than two thousand new students started their studies at Haaga-Helia, Laurea and Metropolia Universities of Applied Sciences. 3AMK (3UAS) went to the main campuses on orientation days to welcome the new students and tell about our services.
Body
In the spring semester, a total of 2 666 new students started at 3AMK partner schools. The largest number, 1,075 new students, started at Laurea, 764 at Haaga-Helia and 827 at Metropolia.
3AMK wanted to welcome the new students and raise awareness of the benefits of cooperation. Discussions were held with both new and continuing students. The courses on offer were of great interest and the easy cooperation between the libraries was a pleasant surprise for many. For first-year students, this spring's offerings are not the most up-to-date, but 3AMK publishes a wide range of courses every six months.
A booth of the alliance was set up next to the student union, which was very busy. Clearly, the Zone sports services are a burning issue for many as a counterbalance to the cramming in classes. The distribution of sports passes is mainly done through the student unions, but the alliance is working behind the scenes to ensure the smooth running of joint sports services.
For many, there was more padding in the form of a 3AMK jumpsuit badge. On the spot, the badges also ended up being sewn onto overalls straight away. More jumpsuit badges will be available next time, for example at the spring Freshers' Days.
3AMK also at the spring Freshers' Days
For new students, one of the first big events is the Freshers' Day in February, organised by the student union of each school. 3AMK will be there to host some tasks and create a good atmosphere for the new students.
Spring Freshers' Day schedules and themes:
- Helga on Wednesday 7 February, the theme is After Ski
- Metka on Thursday 8 February, the theme is Space
- Laureamko on Thursday 15 February, the theme is Childhood Dream Career.
3AMK wishes a good semester to all students, and warmly welcomes you to join us at your school's Freshers' Day!
