Greetings from the Chair Hi and congratulations for being accepted into Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT)!
Cluster ry is the oldest guild/association for software engineering studies in Finland, and as its chair I would LOVE to welcome you to join us!
I’m sure you’re feeling excited about your new study destination and that you are positively swamped with orientation material, but as your new guild we would like to make first contact before you arrive at campus. The logo found on the cover of this brochure is the symbol of a group of experienced software engineer students who have prepared a community for you to thrive and study in, and all of you are welcome to join.
This brochure has a summary of persons who you will be mostly seeing since your first day. All of you also have your own tutors, who are responsible for making sure you are aware of the school systems and nuances, such as how to register for courses. Later, you will find the introductions of the Study Officer, who will be your main representative for issues related to courses and studying. The freshers captain, on the other hand, will be introducing the Finnish student culture and local student culture, i.e., the Skinnarila Spirit, as well as taking you to events and the like.
Be active and participate in all the events that are hosted for you, so that you achieve an explosive start to your studies. Even if you feel that you aren’t familiar with anyone present, go ahead and tug the sleeve of any character dressed in red overalls, and we’ll be sure to give you a great conversation. Remember, you only get ONE fresher year, so make the most out of it!
Warm regards, Teemu Kauranen The chair of the board of Cluster ry
