Hello Chapter! ❤️

KTH isn't perfect all the time, and such imperfections are things we can complain about. The Study Board (SN) and Equality Board (JN) will therefore, on the 8th of March, be organizing a Complaint Lodge, where you can share your opinions or ask any questions you may have regarding Equality and Education at KTH!!!💬

We will also be joined by the Chapter Board member for Education Issues (D-UF), and our Student Safety Representative (SSO), who will listen to your opinions and answer your questions.

So come complain and ask questions to us in SN and JN! We'll get you some fika! 🍪🍪🍪

When: From 12:00 to 13:00, Tuesday the 8th of March Where: Room E34 How: Yes

xoxo JN&SN ❤️❤️❤️

Have you ever felt that the working environment on campus and the other studying environments are in dire need of improvement? Have you ever suffered an injury, major or nominal, while studying or performing chapter related activities? Does your mood get lowered by the mere sight of the buildings and rooms on campus and do you wish they'd do something to make it a little more cozy and homely? Do the chairs in the lecture halls hurt your back? Or do you simply have any other complaint or suggestion in regards to how the studying and working environment could be improved here at KTH?

If so, I want to hear about it! As the chapters safety representative my job is to do what I can to improve the working environment for all computer science students, and the issues can be both in regards to physical or psychological issues. My job can be both preventative or helping you handle specific private issues, but to do this properly I will need your assistance!

If you discover a potential hazard, or simply have a suggestion on how to improve the general environment on campus, don't hesitate to contact me immediately at: sso@d.kth.se No change is too small to make a difference, and no issues are to big to solve!

Take care and stay safe, Emil Wallgren Your humble Student Safety Representative

We currently have a competition on Studs' Instagram, where the biggest prize is a gift card of 400 SEK at Webhallen! Go and check out our latest post if that sounds interesting 🤩the last day for participating is tomorrow!

Hi again.

At the Mulled wine chapter meeting tomorrow we will have to validate vaccination certificates for all attendees, in accordance with the new guidelines from THS.

You can get your vaccine certificate at covidbevis.se.

If you are not vaccinated or you recieved your vaccine outside of the EU and therefore cannot get a vaccination certificate you will only be able to attend the chapter meeting if less than 100 people attend.

If you for medical reasons cannot get vaccinated you need to provide a medical certificate instead.
