Dear international colleagues,

 
Sporticus (your student association, but you already knew that) assembles monthly all major events and occasions around campus into one message to help all its members keep track of these happenings. And here you go, this info for the first time also in English (date and time format is according to the Finnish standard).
 
starting 3.10. student lunch until 18:00 @ Libri
For a while things seemed desperate, since all the lunch places closed at 4 PM. But now our prayers (and feedback) have been heard and Libri at the University Library serves lunch until 6 PM. Also paper lunch tickets made a comeback (10 meals) and you can buy them at all the lunch places.
 
6.10. at 8:00-20:00 Liikunta-appro @ Jyväskylä 
Those of you who attended Appro last week know already the drill. Only this time you do sports instead of shots. Students can collect stickers to their diploma by attending different kinds of sports experiments around the city. You’ll find more info behind the link.
 
6.10. at 15:00-> Sporticus’ Theme Thursday @ Liikunta
Theme Thursday is a new recurring event with changing themes every time. Theme Thursdays are organized every other week and this week the theme is an outdoors trip (by foot or bike) to Haukanniemi. Departure is at 3 PM in front of Liikunta building and return just in time for #derbyjkl (Ice hockey match at Synergia Arena at 9 PM).
