Student guilds score high on belonging – Inclusion still a work in progress
Over 80 per cent of students in the field of technology agree they feel accepted, can be themselves, and perceive the atmosphere of the guild or the degree association as good. The guilds have successfully deployed practices supporting equity. TEK Student Survey highlights some of the remaining challenges, for example a language barrier hindering the opportunities of English-speaking students.

The new polyteekkari flag finally raised in Otaniemi
The 15-year wait of the Otaniemi teekkari community was rewarded in early November, when the community ceremonially introduced the new polyteekkari flag at the 153rd Teekkari Tradition Ball. The previous flag that had united the teekkaris of Otaniemi was the flag of the Student Union of the Helsinki University of Technology, which served the community from 1909 to 2009 and was laid to its well-earned rest with the founding of the Aalto University Student Union. This is how the new flag came into being.

TEK is urging employers in the technology industry to have the courage to employ young people. TEK also offers them an opportunity to advertise their summer jobs in the TEKrekry LinkedIn group, which is moderated by TEK, free of charge. “Let’s work together and make next summer better than the last,” encourages TEK’s Labour Market Director Teemu Hankamäki.
