UEF Library’s seventh book Christmas tree has been set up (video; opens in new tab) in the Kuopio Campus Library and guessing competition is open.
Leave your guess into the box in the library or use the web form. The closest guess will win a prize! If you are the lucky winner, you will need to come to the Kuopio Campus Library to collect it. We will announce the correct number of books in the tree after Epiphany and the form will be open until 8th January 2023.
We would like to thank everyone who took part in setting up the book Christmas tree!
Due to sudden illness, we will organise today’s exchange info session only online. We also have to cancel tomorrow’s planned International Day event in Kuopio. The info session tomorrow afternoon will also be available only online.
You will find Zoom links to the info sessions on Kamu’s study abroad events page. We aim to organise International Day in Kuopio at another time. We apologize for the inconvenience!
The idea is to offer students a place to come hang out after lectures, to enjoy refreshments and good company. You can come to the café on your own or bring someone with you. You are warmly welcome just as you are!
The café is held by master’s degree students in social and health sciences and UEF’s study psychologist trainee. The campus chaplain Raimo, study psychologist Katri and sports planner Sirpa participate in organising the café too.
The café is open on Tuesdays from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m at the Studentia chapel.

SYKETTÄ Sports Afternoon will be held on Wednesday 5th of October 2022 on Joensuu and Kuopio Campuses, in collaboration with the UEF, Karelia UAS and Savonia UAS. The sports afternoon begins at 12:15 pm, and there is no teaching in the afternoon.

On sports afternoon, a wide variety of different exercise options are available both indoors and outdoors, and arranged by external partners. Some of them are free of charge, while others include a separate fee.
The sports afternoon program also includes all the classes on the SYKETTÄ sports calendar that day! To participate in classes and turns in sports calendar on sports afternoon, you don’t have to have a valid SYKETTÄ sticker, but you must be registered as a user and enroll on classes and turns.

Do you know where to find the ISYY office or the Student and Learning Services’ customer service desk? Are you feeling lost strolling around the campus?
Now you have the opportunity to familiarise yourself with your campus in advance! With the help of the Campus Orienteering mobile game, you get to navigate around the campus using an informative map. You can find the campus’ buildings, services, restaurants and many other places of interest marked on the map as checkpoints. By visiting a checkpoint, you can access a brief introduction and info test about the location on the map. In addition to this, some of the checkpoints have small, voluntary tasks related to the location in question. You can play the Campus Orienteering game by yourself or as a group with your friends. The game is available to play until 30 September.
So grab your phone, head over to your campus and get to know more about your surroundings through playing the Campus Orienteering game! You can find the game and its instructions in Moodle by using the following link: https://moodle.uef.fi/course/view.php?id=37047
