Self-service library whole day on the 3rd of November.

Diak collected feedback from first- and third-year students last May using feedback surveys. Diak’s teams have gone through the feedback, and feedback from our graduates last year, and defined the development activities we will be reporting on in this news. Thanks to all the students who left feedback!

Dr. Johanna Lammi has been selected as Diak’s new Service Director. She starts in her new position on 30 November 2020.  

Finland’s coronavirus situation is rapidly deteriorating, and there are also chains of infection among students at universities of applied sciences. This has led to an increase in distance learning and even to the closure of campuses in different parts of Finland.

Diak wants to ensure the safety of all students, because also students at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19 might participate the exam. Therefore, masks are worn in general exams as of 1st October. We also remind students and staff on acting in a responsible manner at campuses.

Diak’s CEO, Rector Tapio Kujala has been selected as Tampere UAS’ (TAMK) CEO, Rector. He works in Diak until the end of 2020 and starts in his new position in Tamk in January 2021.

New, integrated text-to-speech tool allows everyone to read and understand digital content in Diak’s and Diak’s media Dialogi’s website.

In the framework of Helsinki Pride Week, Diak is flagging in honour of the rights of sexual and gender minorities at Helsinki campus this week. Last night the rainbow flag at Helsinki campus was torn down by an unknown person.

Laura Malmivaara’s Hope Despite Drought -photo exhibition is on display at Galleria Diak at Helsinki campus until the end of October.

Diak recommends that its students and staff take Koronavilkku application into use. The app helps to trace chains of infection and to ensure safety at campuses.
