A BIG FAT GULIS-WELCOME!

So, now we're all back in Åbo, let's do this once more:
WELCOME (back) to the English department everyone!


The board has finally gotten together for its first meeting, and we also had the privilege to meet the new students earlier today! We're excited to see so many new faces and we hope you will all join our events and see how awesome the extracurricular activities can get if you're with Britannica ;)

As is tradition, we have a whole bunch of events planned especially for our dear gulisar, and it is now time to reveal the dates in question, so you can mark your calendars:

1. GULIS-GAMYL-KVÄLL, 2.9.2015, 7pm @ Hunter's Inn
This is a very chill event, with the simple intention of bringing the new students of English together with the older ones and encouraging chit-chat between people in different years of their studies. It will take place at Hunter's Inn in the city centre already this Wednesday! The Facebook event can be found here.

2. GULISINTAGNING, 10.9.2015, 5pm - starting @ Arken
This event is probably best described as an absolutely crazy and incredibly funny initiaion ceremony for new students at the entire Faculty of Arts, Psychology and Theology. You will get to know new people from other subjects and also meet the boards of several other associations at the faculty. All the information you need can be found here. Remember to sign up for this event, and if anything's unclear, ask your tutor!

3. GULISAKADEMIN, 16.9.2015, 4pm @ Kåren
As a first-year student, this is your golden opportunity to see what a wide variety of associations ÅA has to offer! Kåren will be filled with happy people, small tables, countless overall patches, and FREE CANDY! This is also the best possible date to become a member of Britannica and buy yourselves some of our merch, since there will be a gulis discount at our table. You definitely don't want to miss this! By the way, remember to bring CASH!

4. BRITANNICA'S GULISSITZ, 25.9.2015, 7pm @ F
Last, but absolutely not least, Britannica will organize a sitz to teach you everything you need to know about this amazing form of partying. As this event is more than three weeks away, all the details haven't been figured out yet, but you WILL hear more about this soon! Stay tuned by regularly checking this blog, the notice board at the English department and our Facebook group (and your e-mail, if you're already a member).

SEE YOU SOON!

Welcome back!

Hey there all new and old students of English, and welcome (back) to the English department!

This is just a brief notice to let you know that your board members are finding their way back to Åbo and that plans for the upcoming weeks are in the making! As usual, the month of September will be filled with "gulis" events for the newbies - among other things, the traditional welcome sitz is coming up, and Britannica will of course take part in the student associations' fair ("gulisakademin") and the "gulisintagning" with HumFen as usual.


Dates and more information will be up later, so watch this space!

Lots of looove,
The Board x
