Vappu Eve Traditions organized by ISYY include the Rite of the Scholastic Passage that will be performed on campus and the Pool Event at the Kuopio Market Square, where we will hear speeches of the Student Union and Student Associations, we’ll nominate the ‘Kunniankantajat’ of the year, we’ll wash and cap the Velj’mies statue and immerse the Professor.
The Rite of the Scholastic Passage is counted among the most long-standing traditions in the academic history of Kuopio as well as among the most unique May Day celebrations in the entire nation. Afterwards, the initiated are granted an authentic KYY ribbon for their graduation caps as recognition of their achievement in pursuing higher knowledge.
More information will be published on this page during spring.
