METAspexet has a tip for you! Our closest spex, Dubbelspexet, are looking for new members and are happy to take in computer scientists. You can read more and apply using the link below (Swedish)!

Survey study

Hej Konglig Datasektionen!

We are two students from Karolinska Institutet who are studying the last semester of the Occupational therapist program and are in the middle of writing our thesis. We therefore wonder if you would like to participate in our study, which deals with how distance learning has affected various daily activities of university students.

You can participate by filling in the questionnaire below (note: questions in Swedish only): https://forms.gle/ecyxoGZiA72U1jA4A

All information about the study can be found here: Study information

Thanks!

Greetings, Emilia and May

If you have/had any thoughts or opinions about the songs in the current songbook then don't look further! Here is a form for you to fill.

This is for the purpose of making the songbook as pleasant as possible for everyone so write all your thoughts to us :D.

The best section in the world

In just a few days (¡¡1 day !!) the application for the 2022 Reception will close and being part of the Reception is an opportunity you really don't want to miss during your time here at KTH. You meet so many great new people, you develop as a person on so many different levels, make contacts and you create memories for life both for yourself and many other people, which is a really cool and rewarding experience. There are a lot of questions and concerns about the reception and what it means to be a part of it, so in Titel 22 we have put together a nice little Q&A session below where we answered the most common questions we have come across. Read and see if YOUR questions are answered in this FAQ

Can you apply for Reception if you are not in Year 1, have not been to Reception before or don't know anyone at Data at all

• YES! As a group works best when it is made up of many different types of people and we want everyone to find someone in Reception they can relate to, we actively seek to mix age, section involvement, year group etc as much as we can. 🥳

Can you apply if you haven't been section active before?

*YES! It is absolutely fine to do so! If anything, Reception is actually a super great place to get to know new people and is a great way to get into section life! 🎉

Do you have to be good at school to be in Reception?

• NO! For us, it's important that you are excited and ready to put your love into Reception work 🥰

Do you need to be able to act or sing to be in the Drifveriet?

• NO! We like to say that Drifver is not something you are at first, but something you become. You will have the opportunity to practice the drifter role a lot during the spring and summer so it is absolutely not a requirement. The most important thing is that you are eager and eager to learn how to develop your stage personality. The rest will work itself out!

Do you need to be able to take pictures to be in the Doqumentary?

• NO! It is of course a plus but you have plenty of time to learn this before/during the Reception. In addition, there are several other responsibilities such as sound and light within the Doqumentary where you don't do much photography at all.

Do you need to know how to cook to be in the Quisinery?

• NO! The Quisinerie does much more than just cook! Of course, it is nice if you know how to boil water, for example, but you learn all the important cooking details along the way!

Do you need to know bookkeeping or other finance-related skills for the Economerie?

• NO! All this will be learned during the Spring and Reception! The most important thing here is that you have an interest in it

Do you need to have been a leader before to join the Daddery?

• NO! As long as you are excited about getting to know new people and have an interest in leading a group, leadership comes naturally

**Do you miss much at school if you are in the reception?

• I would dare to say no! The first three weeks of the reception are before the start of school (unless you are retaking your exams from spring courses). The rest of the weeks, reception-related things usually happen on weekends or after school. It is absolutely possible to be in reception and not have to worry about it affecting your schooling!

Can you work during the summer and be part of the reception?

• YES! Reception work starts in the first week of August, which means that you basically have 2 months to work in the summer, which usually works out well to plan for. Many people have worked during the summer before the reception and made it work, it's just important that you can be completely free until the reception starts on the 8th of August (otherwise you might be able to find compromises)

Does the reception extend over normal school weeks? What do you do in the reception then?

• YES! We answered this question a bit earlier, so look a bit further up here for more detailed answers! But briefly, there are a few events, it could be holding a sitting one weekend or being out at Osqvik! 🌞

What does a normal day in the reception look like?

• During the on-call/intensive weeks, the days always start with breakfast in META! The rest of the day varies a lot depending on which branch you are in. There are superb examples of what a normal day might look like in each branch on our instagram: janifattar! Go check it out there! 😎

When does the reception start?

*Reception has a few events throughout the spring and summer but officially Reception starts in full on the 8th of August this year! 🗓️

So if you're the least bit interested or even just want to know more, Apply to THE RECEPTION and you can get further answers during the interview Hope to see you at the pub this Wednesday 🥳🥳 Apply HERE: datasektionen.se/reception/janifattar

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

Hey hey!

According to tradition, DKM has a collection together with musikhjälpen every year. This year we will, however, not have a musikhjälpen-pub as we usually arrange. Instead, everyone who donates will be allowed to queue a song during the first pub of next year, the THEMEPUB on the 26/1. In order to donate, click here ♥️ This year, musikhjälpen aims to create a better would, without child labour.

Thank you!
