At Monday’s board meeting, the board of PT decided that for now PT organizes only remote events for

PT now has a separate Telegram channel for official announcements and news about the association – PT Info Channel! All the most important announcements and news about the association will be posted in the channel from now on, for example about events and the summary of the weekly newsletter sent by email. The switch over to the Info Channel will happen gradually so that the most important info will also be posted in the #PT-chat until the end of January 2021. The #PT-chat will remain as a chat for discussions between PT members.

As Heat Transferer X you will be the chair of the committee for the Association of Process Engineering Students’ tenth annual ball, Lämmönsiirto X, as well as the committee for the tenth year of celebration. We wish for the Heat Transferer to have previous experience on arranging events for a large amount of people, whether it be from sitsi events, annual balls or even weddings. The Heat Transferer is especially expected to have organization and delegation skills as well as a good group leadership and communication. It is also expected of the Heat Transferer to be excited and motivated about organizing the ball and of course have good ideas for the event! This task will last about 1.5 years, so please take this into consideration already when applying!
If you are chosen for the position, your first task will be to open the application for the committee for Lämmönsiirto X using the association’s email list. When you have received applications, we wish for you to interview the applicants for the tasks.

The suggestion of the committee members must be presented to the board by 14.3.2021. Within your committee you will organize all the arrangements for the annual ball and it is recommended that the committee has people who have experience in e.g. event organization, finances, corporate relations and acquiring sponsors.
During the Association of Process Engineering Students’ tenth year of celebration, it is planned to publish the Association of Process Engineering Students’ own songbook, for which we are seeking a Songbook Responsible and songbook committee. As the Association of Process Engineering Students’ Songbook Responsible you will assemble your own committee of people, with whom you will begin planning and gathering material for the songbook. It is also expected of the Songbook Responsible to have organization and delegation skills that are needed in leading a big project. We hope that the songbook responsible has knowledge on songs that are sung at the Association of Process Engineering Students’ events as well as the traditions that go with them. A wide knowledge on teekkari culture and experience as a song leader are seen as an advantage. Layout skills are also greatly useful.
