Column: Student culture is changing – for the better
At its best, student activism provides meaning, and having a purpose in clubs and associations builds hope. The fact that more and more students from different backgrounds feel welcome and accepted in the community, as TEK's Student Survey demonstrates, is hugely significant.

Student guilds score high on belonging – Inclusion still a work in progress
Over 80 per cent of students in the field of technology agree they feel accepted, can be themselves, and perceive the atmosphere of the guild or the degree association as good. The guilds have successfully deployed practices supporting equity. TEK Student Survey highlights some of the remaining challenges, for example a language barrier hindering the opportunities of English-speaking students.

The new polyteekkari flag finally raised in Otaniemi
The 15-year wait of the Otaniemi teekkari community was rewarded in early November, when the community ceremonially introduced the new polyteekkari flag at the 153rd Teekkari Tradition Ball. The previous flag that had united the teekkaris of Otaniemi was the flag of the Student Union of the Helsinki University of Technology, which served the community from 1909 to 2009 and was laid to its well-earned rest with the founding of the Aalto University Student Union. This is how the new flag came into being.
