Get an insight into life after graduation – learn from alumni through our mentor program

The aim of the mentor program is to give you as a student inspiration for your future career. Your mentor will be a former student, i.e. an alumnus/alumna of KTH, with experiences and personal knowledge of how life after graduation can be. He/she may have a different educational background. Mentoring is about asking questions, listening, reflecting and discovering new perspectives. As a mentee in the program, you are expected to meet up with your mentor four times, of which two meetings are together with the other participants. The mentors and mentees will plan the other two meetings on their own. Please contact alumni@kth.se should you have any questions.

Register before 14 March 2021.

Hi all Chapter Members!

Due to the new Pandemic law and restrictions, the following decisions have been made by KTH and THS.

• New opening hours for META is between 8-22.
• New maximum capacity for META is 26 persons.
• The furniture arrangement will be adapted to this as soon as possible, please do not rearrange.
• The premise is open for study purposes only, not for Chapter activities.

There is also some updated information regarding Nymble and THS from THS President Charley:

Events:

• We will continue having no events in Nymble or Osqvik.
• The previous rule about administrators for crucial democratic meetings being allowed to book rooms in Nymble is no longer in effect.

Public areas in Nymble:

• Nymble, the Bookstore and the Restaurant will still be open, but with new updated safety information posted around the building and even stricter restrictions in the number of seats and tables in their respective areas.
• Only 4 people per table is allowed, and we ask that people do not move any furniture. If you happen to be in Nymble we ask that we all help out to remind people of these restrictions when necessary. For example, if you see a table with too many people, ask them to move apart.
• KårX will continue to be physically open only Monday-Wednesday, but will still be reachable by phone: 08-790 98 51 and by mail: karx@ths.kth.se during their regular office hours.
• THS Café is closed and the Restaurant will instead be open 9-15 for the foreseeable future. Lunch will still be served as usual in the restaurant, with some extension of its supply in order to offer what THS Café usually does.
• We will regularly evaluate the situation and the above is subject to change.

What do we know right now about KTH?

• KTH library will open again on January 25th.
• Study places are kept open as usual.

Take care of yourself and those around you <3

The following message is from the THS President.

Hi everyone! In response to the prolonged local restrictions in the Stockholm area, we will prolong THS restrictions accordingly. All of the following applies until December 13th. After that, we will reevaluate and send an update. Events:

• We will continue having no events in Nymble or Osqvik until at least December 13th. Nymble:

• Nymble, the Bookstore, THS Café and the Restaurant will still be open, but with new updated safety information posted around the building, and possibly even further restrictions than the past three weeks in the number of seats and tables in their respective areas. This because we still want to provide, for the students who really need it, a space to study.

• Administrators for crucial democratic meetings, may still make use of premises in Nymble, but only the administrators. The meeting itself will still be needed to be completely on Zoom. You must contact ordf@ths.kth.se and ask permission if you wish to do this.

• KårX will continue to be physically open Monday-Wednesday, but will still be reachable by phone: 08–790 98 51 and by mail: karx@ths.kth.se during their regular office hours. What will KTH do? The library will keep on being open just as it has been the last couple of weeks, but we don’t have any more information to give you right now on the subject. A formal decision will be made during next week, and we will keep you posted about that as soon as we receive more information.
