Events
Sporticus organizes a wide variety of events, to which exchange students and degree students are warmly welcome!
The nights are getting darker and colder.
As you pedal to your morning workout, your breath turns to mist and your fingers start to freeze. The temperature is flirting with the minus sign, and it’s about time to dig out those winter jackets. The end of October is near, and that can only mean one thing…
THE POND IS FREEZING!
…but most importantly, the celebrations continue!
Dear freshmen, it’s time to officially baptize you as members of the sports community. Rumor has it that a few familiar heroes from past years might make a surprise appearance… 👀 (Hint hint, upper-year students – there’s still time to join the plotting for this legendary night!)
This year’s theme is Heroes and Villains!
Despite the darkness and the freezing cold, put on your best costume and party spirit — the best outfit will be rewarded! 🔥
The event kicks off at 4:30 PM on the Mattilanniemi lawn area. Be on time, or face the consequences! You’ll need at least:
2 x 0.33L canned drinks
Warm clothes
A swimsuit
Flip-flops 😎
The actual baptism will take place around 8 PM, after which it’s time to head to Opinkivi sauna or home to warm up — before the night peaks at the afterparty in Escape! 🎉
