Gulis 2022

Hello all new students and welcome to TLK and the studies at Arcada!

Tekniska Läroverkets Kamratförbund r.f., TLK for short, is the association for the engineeringstudents at Arcada.
TLK was founded year 1917 to embrace friendship among students at Tekniska Läroverket i Helsingfors and it’s still operative today.
TLK organizes several events for its members and to for its friend-associations, while TLK’s sub-clubs organise more specific events for the ones interested. You can recognize a TLK member by the darkblue overall with TLK’s logo in white on the back.

Great that you get to start your studies on-site among all other students.
My name is Jakob Hahnsson and I am Head of Tutors in TLK.
Together with the other tutors we will support you through your start in the student life.

What is a tutor?

Tutors are older students whose goal is to help you with pretty much all tasks and questions you may have. Everything from housing, tools for school, parties & the student life and even help you install your washing machine.

We will present ourselves during the introduction day on the 24th of August.
Later during the introduction days you will find us in blue T-shirts and blue overalls.
You will not fail to see us.

In order to keep in touch with your classmates and tutors, as well as to receive information about what is happening, we have created group chats for every class.
TLK uses Signal as social media. Below this text you will find links to download Signal as well as links to your own class chat. In the groups are also your tutors.
Do not hesitate to ask questions to the tutors. Either in the chat or in private.
We have all begun our studies at some point, and we know how lost one can be in the beginning. The tutors have professional secrecy. Speak to your tutors or someone else if you have something bothering you.

I wish you all a great start in your studies and I wait to meet you all!

HEET.

HEET stands for Helsinki Energy Engineering Technology Club.
We function primarily as a club for Energy and Environmental Technology in Arcada.

Our goal is to unite the students, create contacts between the students and working life and act as a contact between the students and the school.

We work closely with both the students and the school. We hope that this can enable as good and up-to-date schooling as possible both now and in the future.

We strive to create as many business contacts as possible, to be able to offer internships, summer jobs, etc. This makes recruiting for companies easier, because we already have the contacts and the best ways to reach the students who are within the target group.

Sångsälskapet

Do you want to sing schnaps songs and choir songs in groups with other like-minded people, then the Sångsällskapet is something for you. You do not need to have previous musical experience. We practice every Sunday at 17 in TLK’s clubhouse. To join, you only need to show up for an practice or contact the chairman of the club. He will answers all your questions.
