Covid-19 update

blue and white street sign

The ISM board is sad to announce that due the new recommendations from the Finnish government and KY board we have decided to cancel the rest of our live events for this autumn semester. This includes our after exam, Novemberfest and board election.

We hope to resume hosting live events ASAP when the COVID-19 situation allows it. Stay on the lookout for remotely held events from us!

Thank you for your understanding and stay safe,
ISM’20 board

Aalto ISM Peer-to-Peer Case Night

Aalto ISM invites fellow students to practice case-solving! In this event, all participants will crack one case and act as an interviewer for one case. The aim is to gain confidence and insights into case-solving, have fun, and meet new people.

This event will be held through Microsoft Teams. All Aalto students have an account for Teams and the participants are expected to have access to their account. Participants will have the contact info for their pair and will set up the call themselves.

We will share the case beforehand so that there is time to prepare for holding the interview. If you have more experience, you can choose the case where you act as an interviewer.

Event flow:
17.00 – 18.00 Time to solve the first case + brief feedback session with the pair
18.00 – 19.00 Time to solve the second case + brief feedback session with the pair

Naturally, the aim is to solve the case as efficiently as possible and move to the second case right after.

Event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/2620923761494736/

Due to the coronavirus situation we would like to remind people to exercise extra caution. The Sitsit have an increased risk of droplet infection. Being indoors, singing and being in a large group of people increase the risk. Additionally, the food in the Sitsit is not made by professionals, which increases the infection risk. With all this taken into account, we ask all participants to adhere to the following recommendations:

  • If you feel at all sick or unwell, do not attend the event.
  • If you are diagnosed with a condition caused by the coronavirus up to 14 days following the event, inform the event’s responsible person and give your contact information. The responsible person will give the contact information of all participants to the officials so that all participants can be informed of the exposure.
  • Avoid meeting persons that belong in risk groups for at least a week after the event.

The responsible person for the event is Niklas Valuri, email niklasvaluri@gmail.com or Telegram https://t.me/nippe_nuutinpoika
