The year was 2017 when Mikkeli and Kymenlaakso Universities of Applied Sciences joined together and formed the South-Eastern University of Applied Sciences. A bit before the new UAS was opened a new student union was born, that merged the students from Kymenlaakso and Southern Savonia. On the 22nd of December in 2016 the Student Union Kaakko was founded and even on this day it works as the trustee of all students at Xamk.
Student Union Kaakko will soon grow a bit older, as it turns 8 years. Celebrations will be held on the 9th of November in Kotka to honor Kaakko. Celebrations include a traditional annual gala where every member of Kaakko and all of Xamk’s students are warmly welcome to join!
WHAT? Student Union Kaakko 8 yrs annual gala + Silliaamiainen, Sillis (aka herring breakfast, which actually does not include herring).
WHERE? In Kotka, at Hotel Seurahuone.
