The Campus Happening (Kampusrysäys) starts the academic year of UEF’s students already for the tenth time. The event is held in Joensuu and Kuopio on Thursday 7.9.2023, on the same day as UEF’s Opening Ceremony of the Academic Year 2023–2024 in Joensuu.
All students, new and continuing, and UEF staff are welcome to attend the Campus Happening! The event gathers our university community to celebrate the beginning of the academic year with live music and different activities.
The Campus Happening works as a kick-off for the City Orienteering (Kaupunkisuunnistus), which begins right after the Happening. In the Orienteering, students will go around their campus city in groups and complete different kinds of tasks given to them at different orienteering points.

The groups who start their orienteering at 5 pm can pick up their items starting at 4 pm and groups leaving at 5.30 pm can pick up their items starting at 4.45 pm.
At the registration the person will get the orienteering passport, a map, and overall patches and wristbands of the after party in Las Palmas Kimmel for the whole team. The team will also receive a starting number which is the number of the orienteering point the group has to visit first.
For example, if a group has got starting number 3, they must go to the orienteering point number 3 first and then start going around the orienteering points in a numerical order from the orienteering point 3 onwards. The group must visit 5 orienteering points in numerical order after which the group can decide what other orienteering points they want to visit.
The people organising the tasks at the orienteering points will draw a mark to the orienteering pass when the group has completed the task given at the point. By getting at least 10 markings (5 orienteering points in the numerical order and 5 freely chosen orienteering points) to their passport and by returning the passport to Las Palmas Kimmel by 10 pm, the orienteering group can enter a raffle and win a prize at the after party.

It is also possible to collect the items during the Campus Happening.

If the tutor or another person from the group has not collected the orienteering map, etc. during the week, it is possible to collect the orienteering package on the day of the event during Campus Happening (7 September). The groups who start their orienteering at 5 pm can pick up their items from the ISYY office starting at 4 pm and groups leaving at 5.30 pm can pick up their items starting at 4.45 pm. All starts for the orienteering are made from the courtyard of the Studentia building.
The map has a starting number written on it. The starting number tells the team from which checkpoint they should start their journey. For example, if a group has got starting number 3, they must go to the checkpoint number 3 first and then start going around the checkpoints in a numerical order from the orienteering point 3 onwards. The group must visit 3 checkpoints in the numerical order after which the group can decide what other checkpoints they want to visit.
The checkpoints are open till 10 pm. The people organising the tasks at the checkpoints give points from 1 to 5 (5 being highest) based on your group’s performance. By the end of the orienteering, the group should count their points and mark the total sum to the orienteering passport. By returning the orienteering passport to a pop-up tent near Albatrossi exterior between 10 and 11 pm your team takes part in both costume and points competitions. In the points competition the team that has gathered the most points wins a VIP table with sparkling wine and snacks to the after party. The winning team is announced in Albatrossi stage at 11.30 pm.
The after party of the Kuopio event in Albatrossi (Makasiininkatu 1) start at 10 pm. Access to the after party can only be obtained via wristbands included in the orienteering packsage. NOTE! Additional giveaways for the after party wristbands will be made in a pop-up tent located near Albatrossi exterior to the quickest ISYY members at the tent starting at 9 pm (membership is verified by showing a student card).

There are student-priced drinks available in Albatrossi, which you can get by showing your student card. The artist of the evening is Faija and the gig will start at midnight.
