<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHELLLOO LOVELY FUKSI!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lovely what?? You\u2019ve become a first-year student at Aalto University, or in other words, a Fuksi! So, congratulations and a warm welcome to Data Guild! My name is Aawez Akbar, and I\u2019m your Fuksi Captain. My role is to ensure y\u2019all not only have a seamless transition into university life, but also the most fun-filled and exciting Fuksi year possible! Joining me is Aleksei Filonov, our Tutor Coordinator, along with a fantastic team of Tutors who are here to support you every step of the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few years ago, I was in your position. I remember moving to Helsinki feeling uncertain but hopeful. Looking back, my expectations were completely blown out of the water. Aalto and Data Guild are full of life in a way that\u2019s difficult to explain until you experience it for yourself. We\u2019ve got everything you need to make this year unforgettable \u2013 amazing events like lore-filled checkpoint crawls and chaotic sitsit, plus a wide array of associations and clubs to join. Be it heavy metal, massive festivals, or pole dancing, there\u2019s literally something for everyone. Create new bonds and take risks, but most importantly, try and do what you\u2019ve been afraid to do in the past!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your Fuksi year kicks off at the end of August with Headstart (22.8), followed by Orientation Week, where you\u2019ll get to meet your fellow Fuksis and tutors from Data Guild, as well as get valuable info on starting your studies! We have a lot of really fun events planned for you guys, so stay tuned! If you ever have any questions or need support, reach out to me via Telegram, WhatsApp, email, or phone. Telegram is the main communication channel we use at Aalto and Data Guild, so I highly recommend downloading it!
Join our Telegram group! https:\/\/t.me\/+YznVU6Zb1xswNzlk. There you\u2019ll get to know your fellow Fuksis and tutors before Orientation Week and get important info regarding upcoming events and your studies. You can also find the link from the emails the school has sent you.
Once again, welcome!!! Your Fuksi year has the potential to be among the best in your life, so make the most of it, we gon\u2019 make sure to go CRAZY.
I can\u2019t wait to meet y\u2019all!
Truly yours,
Aawez Akbar
