Editor'sNote

DearBabas,

EditingthisissueoftheBulletinhasbeena bit melodramatic for me First of all, Mikkeli has never felt so empty with the departure of Babas' 21 and exchange fellows, while the new fuksit have yet to come. Another thing is my role as the Editor-in-ChiefofProbbahas50%expired, and I had only realized this right before I finalized the edition. Sometimes it is impossibletobelievehowtimefliessofast; onemorningyouwakeupandsuddenlyit knocks on your door, announcing you havehalfayearleftto messup dothebest youcanwiththeBulletin

Buthey,it'ssummertime!Onlythethought ofitmakestheexcitementtocreepupon myspine.SoIdecidedtoletitallslideaway and enjoy our beloved sun-dipped Pankalampi (along with the fierce mosquitos who attack like Spartans). We should all agree the best way to treat ourselves after a hectic Pentti day is none other than midnight swimming, although that makes it seem more challenging to show up at class on Thursday. JuhannusMöbbaisaroundthecorner,inwhichour wildlife living skills would be thoroughly tested, followed closely by Mikkeli Boat Trip - another chapter of Mikkeli Road Trip Evenwithsomanypeopleleaving,

"That's all! 2 years in Mikkeli passed unnoticed, and I want to say that it turned out to be a good story, from participating in school events to studying together but the most important thing is that I met a lot of new people whom I will remember and with whom it was a pleasure to spend time! Aalto community, I look forward to carrying these memories with me as I move on to the next chapter of my life!"

"Time in Mikkeli was definitely a once-of-a -lifetime experience! The atmosphere was international, and everything was within walking distance. 1,5 years was worth it for self-development and making wonderful connections. Here I have been through thick and thin and am now stronger to move on to the following steps!"

-Sanzhar, Baba'21-

-Duong, Baba'21-

"Looking back on the past two year as a Baba, I gotta admit, it wasn't a smooth beginning. English being my second language, my confidence with it -

physically (thanks to the food that I couldn't resist, haha), mentally, and academically. I wouldn't call myself an active gal when it comes to school events and activities since alcohol and socializing aren't really my things But whenever I did show up, I had a blast.

One of my professors taught me to appreciate every single moment of my university life, and that stick with me. Mikkeli has become a huge part of my life. Tbh, every time I travel, I yearn for the tranquil embrace of Mikkeli. So, here I am, ready to embark on a new chapter,but I will carry with me not just unforgettable memories, but also the lessons learned and the love I found along the way."

"Spending the beginning of my student life in Mikkeli is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! Although you always evolve over time, and may not stick to the life plan, or the friend group you had as a fuksi, it’s never an issue in this program. Mikkeli makes you get to know everyone - due to it’s sizeand everything - due to the course structure. As I’m in the process of moving out, thinking about the town is a bit bittersweet, since nowhere else in the world will I have all of my friends living within 10 minutes of walking."

-Roxanne, Baba'21-

-Vlada, Baba'21-

"It’s officially been 635 days since I first arrived in Finland. As that number grew larger, my confidence that I made the correct choice university wise has grown exponentially, whether it’s the amazing Fuksi experience of having so many new traditions to learn and integrating into this small yet extremely tight and “unique” community, or the second-year experience of being the one teaching the new Fuksis everything what makes Mikkeli, well, Mikkeli Everything from how sits work or being part of O-week and other events to of course the wonders of Pentti. Thank you Mikkeli for being so amazing."

"My experience in Mikkeli has been great all around. Having always lived in Espoo, I was hesitant to move to a relatively small town at first. Nonetheless, I’ve had a great time in Mikkeli in the past years, with many long-lasting friendships and memories. Having also been in the Probba board in 2022 as the treasurer added some responsibilities with some events that sometimes went better than others. I feel like the Mikkeli experience with the tight student community and the great events throughout the year might be impossible to recreate anywhere else."

-André, Baba'21-

-Vlad, Baba'21-

BABA'21

"My time in Mikkeli has been nothing short of amazing. I was nervous as a first-year student walking to campus for orientation. But those fears washed away when I saw the incredible, tight-knit community here that made me feel so welcome. As someone who’s travelled from thousands of kilometres away to start my studies, I couldn’t have asked for a better opportunity. Beyond the unique, intensive academics program here, I’ve learned so much about myself and I hope to become a better person from it. I’ve made some of my best memories and my closest friends here, and I will cherish them dearly as I enter the next chapter of my life."

-Joni, Baba'21-

Sunshine of

The president of Probba, and the Sunshine of the Year at the same time. Howcanyouhandleallofthoseyetstill keepingthemostpositivespirit?

Iguesslifealwaysrequiresacertainamount of positivity! I like to look at things from the bright side and seek for the solutions wheneverneeded.Inmyopinion,beingan open minded and easily approachable person is really important part of being a chairperson. The whole close community of Mikkeli students makes being positive easy In fact, I think we have a lot of sunshineshere!

Has there been any time you don’t feel ‘sunshine’atall?

Whileboardworkinastudentassociation

is absolutely rewarding, it’s occasionally also stressing and time-consuming I still think that some sparks of sun are present each and every day. Especially now with longandwarmdays,it’seasytolookatall thepositivethingsaroundme.

If there is one word to describe our Probba community, what will be that wordaccordingtoyou?

Friendship.Thisisthefirstwordthatcame to my mind. We at Probba community comefromdifferentbackgroundsfromall around the world. Still, together we have experiencedallsortsofthingsthatmakeus closetoeachother.Thefriendshipsformed inMikkeliwillforsurelastforalifetime.

StudiesinMikkeli

I began my studies in Mikkeli approximatelytenyearsago,intheautumn of 2012. In Mikkeli, I very much enjoyed the international atmosphere of the campus, created by the rich mix of nationalitiesbothwithinthestudentbody and in the faculty Personally, I also appreciated starting my “adult life” in a slightly smaller town with a tight-knit student community before moving into a biggercity.

Looking back, I’m also happy with my decisiontopursuemyBachelor’sdegreein English,asitwasexcellentpreparationfor my future studies and career. Finally, the BScBA programme prepares you well to workeffectivelyinateam,manageprojects independently and deliver presentations –allskillsIusenearlydailyasaconsultant.

From Mikkeli to London & Helsinki –mysubsequentstudiesandcareer

During my studies in Mikkeli, I became interested in topics like economics and political economy. Inspired by this, I decided to pursue my exchange studies at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, whereIattendedcoursesineconomicsand economichistory Myexchangetermserved as a confirmation for me: this was something I wanted to study full-time for myMaster’s

I spotted a couple of interesting programmesthatIappliedtobothabroad

ItwasalsoinLondonwhereIfirstbecame interested in consulting I discovered consulting through university collaboration,suchascareerfairs,company excursions and campus recruiting Events like this are a fantastic way to learn more about different industries, and I fully recommend that you take advantage of them as well. What drew me into consulting was the continuous learning opportunities, working with very talented professionals and exposure to different typesoforganisationsandbusinesses After movingbacktoFinlandandworkingin thefinancialsectorforawhile,Ibeganmy careerinconsultingatAccenture

for Technology Consulting at Accenture Health & Public Service. I mainly work with public-service clients. My role is typically at the intersection of the clients’ business and technology. Some topics I have worked with include service design and UX, agile development, business process automation, IT strategy and data analytics.

Whereasitisimportanttohaveaninterest intechnologyandITinthislineofwork, not all roles within technology require “stereotypical” tech skills like programming In fact, more and more research is revealing the value of diverse teams for particularly topics like innovation Moreover,giventhedisruptive role of technology in today’s society, it is imperativethatdiversevoicesareheardand perspectivesconsideredinitsdevelopment –otherwiseweriskbiasesandsuboptimal solutions.

My career story is definitely not the most glamorous one, but it just might be the mostcommonone

I started business studies in my early twenties, mostly to please my family who thoughtthatworkinginrestaurantswould be a dead end job. I did extremely well in school, but I didn’t really find business studiesthatinteresting.

Tobehonest,almostthewholetimeduring myBachelor’sstudiesIhadnoideawhatI would want to do with my degree I actuallythoughtthatthebestpartofschool waswhenIdidmyexchangeperiodinBali and was living my best life surfing and enjoyingthesun.

It was just a fluke I ended up getting an internshipatL’OréalbeforemyBachelor’s thesisandrealised,maybeIhadreallyfound my true calling “So this is marketing!”, I thought.

Through that internship I found somethingthatIthoughtIwasreallygood at.Marketingallowedmetocombineboth my creativity and analytical skills During mytimeatLoréalIalsoinventedawayto save thousands of euros in packaging promotional materials every year (still in usetoday,overadecadelater!)–thatreally sparkedsomethingwithinme Ifanintern likemecouldcomeupwithsomethingso clever for marketing, I thought that the onlyboundarycouldbemyowncreativity

So, I decided to pursue a career in marketing. I continued with my Master’s studieswhilealreadyworkingafulltimejob in charge of marketing for a fashion retail chaininFinland.Whentheretailchainhad a change in ownership and our marketing budgetswerefrozen,Ifoundaninteresting opportunitythroughmyschool–Iapplied forafixedtermjobcreatingdemandfora FinnishbrandinCalifornia.

AndIgotthejob!SoItooksometimeoff from my full time job (and my Master’s studies)andwenttoLosAngelesforthree months to help the Finnish company get intolocalstoresinCaliforniaandArizona. I only got back to Finland for five weeks afterthattoquitmyjobandleaveforLos Angelesagain,thistimetostayforalmost ninemonths,creatingawholenewfitness brandfromscratch.

Although the experience of working in marketing in Los Angeles was beyond incredible, I returned to Finland in 2016 and landed a job as a Digital Marketing Manager for a well-known Finnish B2B company. Out of all the applicants, I was theonlycandidonewhodidn’ttrytosugar coatthefactthatthecompanywasn’tdoing a great job with digital marketing at that point. They knew that themselves and so mycandidnessgotmethejob.

The Digital Marketing Manager role was supposed to be a temporary job, but I endedupstayingforfiveyearsandtookthe company from having practically zero digitalvisibilitytobeingtheindustryleader indigitisingtheirservices Somewhere

between all the development work and travellingIalsomanagedtoactuallyfinish myMaster’sthesisandgraduate

I was lucky enough to have lots of possibilities within the organisation to develop my own role, grow my team and educatecolleaguesaboutdigitalmarketing. That’swhatkeptme there for a long time. In this role I also managedthedigitalmarketingpartnerswe hadinmanyofouroperatingcountriesand thatturnedouttobethehardestpartofthe entirejob

OnedayIjustdecidedthattherehastobea better way for companies to work with marketingagenciesandIdecidedtheeasiest way to make that happen was to run the agencymyself

AndsoIfoundTrickleafteronemorepit stop Or actually, Trickle found me with the help of a headhunter. I currently run theoperationsofTrickleHelsinki,adigital marketingagency,andsitontheboardof directors. And finally feel like I’m exactly where I want to be. Like I found what I wanttobewhenIgrowup

Istartedoffasastudentnotknowingwhat I’ll be when I graduate and grew into a completemarketingfanaticovertheyears Not only do I now work full time in a digitalmarketingagency,butIalsodopro bono work to help entrepreneurs with digitalmarketing,coachyoungermarketers, do speaking gigs about marketing, teach marketing at universities and basically live andbreathemarketingalldayeveryday.

We would really love to know about yournameandyourself!

My name is Anu Koskinen. I'm 50 years old,andIhavetwochildren Ihaveworked asanentrepreneurforthreeyears,oneyear herefrom16thofMay2022.Istartedin another restaurant in Mikkeli, but that place wasn't good and then the COVID cameandthat'swhyIchangedtheplace.I have worked on restaurant and cafeteria businessformywholelife,sinceIwas15. Differentjobs

How is it different between your previous workplaces in restaurants and ourcafeteria?

Well,thebiggestdifferenceisthefoodand thepriceofthefood.BecauseKelarequires

somethingsaboutfoodandthepricehasto be very low, you have to consider that, unlikeanormalrestaurant.Anotherthing is the atmosphere. I like the energy here. Youngpeople,verylively WhereIworked before there were mostly working men, construction workers and so on. But this cafeteriaisopenforallpeople,it'sjustthat theycan'tfinditeasilyandImyselfhaven't advertisedit.BecauseIhavebeensomuch alone,Ikindofhaveenoughcustomersfor myself.Inthenextfallwhenthekidscome, we can advertise more and maybe have someoutsidersalsoinhere.

Am I understanding correctly that you runthisbusinessbyyourself?

Yes,thisismyownbusiness

Business lies everywhere in our life. The lady in the cafeteria, whom we all are familiar with, turns out to be an entrepreneur…

Humans of Aalto

Howlongisyournormalworkday?

UsuallyIstartat7am.SometimesIfinishat 4pm,sometimesat6pm.

Whatarethedifficultiesinrunningthe businessonourcampus?

Basically the price is the biggest challenge. Yeah, because all the prices of the ingredients have gone up; some chicken meat almost doubled in one year. Apart fromthat,Ialwaystrydifferentthingsand trytoimaginewhatyouwouldliketoeat But it's quite difficult because you come fromallovertheworldandbecauseofthe agedifferencebetweenus.SoeventhoughI have kids at the age of 18 and 20, I don't reallyknowwhatthepeopleatyourageeat aroundtheworld.

Wouldasuggestionforafoodsurveybe helpful?

Actually, yesterday I talked with Jevgeni andwewilldoasurveyinJune.Itwouldbe nice to somehow tell the students why I makesomekindoffoodandwhatitislike Because there are hundreds of pages of instructionsfromKelaandwhilewedon't actuallygetingredientsmuchcheaperthan if you bought it individually in a supermarket.

I usually make a menu eight weeks in advance,sothereisverymuchvarietyinthe menu. And then if I get some ingredients withagoodprice,thenIchangethemenu. And if I see that people don't like some food,Idropitoffthelist.Oneofthethings that students maybe don't understand is that Keller requires us to have fish two timesaweek.

Isthatamandatoryrequirement?

Yes, for nutritional purposes. Well, not everyone likes fish, and fish is very expensive.Soit'sajobtothinkabouthow toaddthosefishcourseseveryweek.And also,themenuneedstobeveganinclusive becauseitgoesformorepeople.
