KINFO: Welcome to the kickoff event for the Faculty of Technology, this Thursday at 3 pm

[TYK ry tiedotus]

Dear everyone at the Faculty of Technology,



By now, the new semester is in full swing and we are all hunkered down at our labs and (home)office desks, studying, teaching, and doing research. While much about this new semester feels the same as last year, one important thing has changed: we do these activities in the new Faculty of Technology!



To recognize this new beginning, a historic event for the university, I am inviting all our students, teachers, researchers, and staff---everyone who will be contributing to the success of our Faculty---to join a kickoff event on Thursday, 21.1. at 3 pm.



The one-hour Zoom meeting discusses the first steps and future directions of our brand new faculty in the spirit of rolling up our sleeves and getting to work. See below for details on the program.



Our goal is to build a faculty of experts and students with a sense of shared purpose and community. This meeting will be the first opportunity for us to come together, even if only virtually for now. It is also an opportunity to welcome to the university community the many new colleagues and students who have recently joined the faculty.



I hope to see you all next Thursday, 3 pm, at https://utu.zoom.us/j/69267523779



  -- Jaakko Järvi
