Case Cottage

The Study Trip is back. And this time we are taking a trip to our beautiful nature at Evo. The cottage trip will be a weekend filled with mingling with other ISM students and most importantly – a tricky case to be solved!

Study Trip goes Cottage on 1.-3.10.

The participation fee covers you a whole weekend of tasty food and some beverages, entertainment, case-solving and making new friends. The event will be held at a cottage venue in Evo, where they have great facilities including saunas and paljus. However, this trip is not just for having fun, on Saturday we will have a case to be solved in teams, where ISMers get to use their expertise, practice teamworking and case-solving skills, which are valuable in working life.

The bus for the cottage leaves from Otaniemi on Fri 1.10. at 16:30 and returns to Otaniemi on Sun 3.10. at 15:00 latest.

Since there are many excited people wanting to join, the sign-up form asks you to explain in 3 sentences why you would like to attend the event. All sign-ups with proper 3 sentences will participate in a raffle that decides who get to participate. Thus, we do not guarantee that you get to go with your friend(s) and the order of sign-ups is irrelevant.

Participants that got in will be contacted on 15.9.

Check the Facebook event and sign up!

Master’s Opening

Dear new or old ISM master’s student!

Aalto ISM invites you to kick off the new academic year at Master’s Opening. The event will provide information about the subject club’s operations and ISM studies as well as offer a chance for casual hanging out with other ISM students. This is a great opportunity to meet new people and get to know the ISM community!

The event is open for all ISM master’s students, but in case the Corona restrictions limit the number of participants, new ISM master’s students coming from outside Otaniemi campus will be given first priority, new ISM master’s students moving within Otaniemi campus will be given second priority and the rest follow.

The organising mode (live or online) is also still open and will be confirmed closer to the event. Therefore, when you sign-up for the event you are asked to indicate your interest in participating in the event in case it’s held live indoors, live outdoors or remotely.

Check the event on Facebook and sign up by 15.9. at 23:59.

See you all at the Opening!

Bachelor’s Opening

Hei uusi tai vanha ISM-kandi!

Aalto ISM kutsuu sinut korkkaamaan uuden lukuvuoden Bachelor’s Openingiin. Tapahtumassa on luvassa järjestön toiminnan ja ISM-opintojen esittelyä sekä kasuaalia hengailua muiden ISM-kandien kanssa. Tämä on siis mainio mahdollisuus tutustua uusiin tyyppeihin ja ISM-yhteisöön!

Tapahtumaan voi ilmoittautua kuka tahansa ISM:n kandiopiskelija, mutta koronarajoitusten rajoittaessa osallistujamäärää ensisijalle laitetaan uudet ISM-kandit.

Tapahtuman järjestysmuoto (live vai online) riippuu myöskin koronarajoituksista ja ilmoitetaan lähempänä tapahtumaa. Tämän vuoksi ilmoittautuessasi tapahtumaan voit valita oletko kiinnostunut osallistumaan livenä sisätiloissa, livenä ulkona tai etänä.

Katso tapahtuma Facebookissa ja ilmoittaudu 12.9. mennessä.

Nähdään avajaisissa!

Picnic Hangout with Aalto ISM

The start of the academic year is closing in on us, but there is still summer left! Vielä on kesää jäljellä…

We have heard your wishes for an event! Aalto ISM welcomes all new and old ISM students to a casual hangout outdoors on Wednesday 4.8. at 18:00 onwards in Vanha Kirkkopuisto. The picnic is a great place to network with other ISM people, meet new faces, and connect with some of our alumni as well! ISM will provide some snacks and drinks, but you may also want to take your own and BYOB (bring your own blanket).

We want to especially encourage all new bachelor’s and master’s ISM students to come enjoy the sun and meet your new study buddies.

Please sign-up for the event before joining so we can keep the event safe for everyone. The sign-up is open until the event so no sign-up is a late sign-up.

If you are sick or have any symptoms that could be COVID, please do not attend the event.

Summer greetings and hoping to see many of you at the picnic!

Wellbeing Questionnaire Results

The wellbeing questionnaire results and report are here!

Earlier this spring Aalto ISM decided to hold their own wellbeing questionnaire to get insights into ISM students’ wellbeing. There was a need to understand ISM students feelings and experiences during COVID-19 and how the situation is affecting to their motivation and studies. Aalto ISM felt that the AllWell?-survey and its interpretation provided a more optimistic view on the current situation than reality was.

The major findings of the questionnaire include:

  • The level of students’ wellbeing has decreased greatly during the past year
    • Almost all respondents have encountered exhaustion or lack of motivation
  • Concrete things are helping students to cope with the situation
    • Social activities help students overcome the struggles that they are experiencing

Key recommendations are as follows:

  • Remote working should be easily approachable by the students
    • Focus on not increasing the workload level
    • Standardize recorded live-stream lectures
    • More support for students
  • A plan for opening the University should be conducted and presented to students

The whole report with question-specific analyses can be found from the pdf below. The same report has also been distributed to your aalto-emails by our planning officer, Elli. If you have any questions about the questionnaire, wellbeing, or your studies, please do not hesitate to contact the board.
