Welcome to the 89th Annual Gala of the Student Union of the University of Jyväskylä!
Program
The gala will be opened by Alvar, a male choir from Jyväskylä, founded in 2019. The choir’s repertoire includes classical male choir music with a fresh approach. During the evening, we will also hear speeches and award silver and gold badges to members of our student union, and enjoy delicious vegan cocktails and tasty refreshments. During the evening, you will also have the opportunity to capture your own festive mood in photographs and get to know other guests.
After the gala, we will continue the evening to Ilokivi Venue, where we can continue the party to the music of Jyväskylä-based party band Retrohelma. We recommend you to check out the bar’s mocktail and cocktail lists. The lists are designed with a twinkle in the eye.

History
The history of the Student Union of the University of Jyväskylä, or JYY, is naturally linked to the history of the University of Jyväskylä. The roots of the University are in the teacher seminar founded in 1863, where the first Finnish-speaking teachers in Finland were trained. In 1934, the seminary was transformed into an educational university, and at that time the student union was founded. At that time, JYY was known as JKKY – the student union of Jyväskylä University of Education.
In 1967, the University of Jyväskylä became an actual university and the journey towards a multidisciplinary university like the one we have today began. At the same time, the name of the student union also changed and the name JYY, which is still in use today, was introduced. For the first 70 years of JYY, a work has been written – Youth and Hope.
JYY will celebrate its annual celebration on March 24 to commemorate the launch of Finnish education. Due to the COVID19 disease situation, JYY’s annual celebrations have been postponed to the autumn of 2021 this year.
