Communication
COMMUNICATION IN ENGLISH
We will send you messages and communicate to you in English whenever possible. Due to limited translation resources you will receive communication in Finnish, because we don’t want you to miss out on any of the Association’s activities due to your language preference.
The association communicates of its activities mainly via e-mail. Invitations to events and activities are sent primarily based on the choices of interests made by the members themselves.
To get messages that interest you and avoid unnecessary messages we recommend you to update your areas of interest in the member register under the heading As a member I am interested in. Once you have updated your interests continue to the Confirmation tab and press “Save”. You can easily edit your interests and your personal details by ordering your personal member link from this page: alumniassociation.fi/updatecontactinformation
The choises of interest are:
- Academic volunteer work within the Association
- Academic events, such as lectures and seminars
- Events that enable networking, such as celebrations, seasonal activities and After Work get-togethers
- Events related to employment and careers as well as training
