Acknowledgments
The Student Union annually awards three types of acknowledgments:
- The Good teacher award is a recognition offered by the students to three members of the teaching staff for a particularly well-done job that takes the students into account.
- At the end of the year, meritorious association actives and student actives are awarded at the TREYHEM-gala (formerly PLÖRGIT). Award categories include e.g. Tutor of the year, Council representative of the year and Well-being act of the year.
- May Day Cap (known in Finnish as “Vappulakki”) is a recognition award that is given annually to a cultural active in Tampere or the surrounding area who has significantly promoted the student culture and students’ culture, being a student and being despite studying.
