The Campus Happening (Kampusrysäys) starts the academic year of UEF’s students already for the tenth time. The event is held in Joensuu and Kuopio on Thursday 7.9.2023, on the same day as UEF’s Opening Ceremony of the Academic Year 2023–2024 in Joensuu.

All students, new and continuing, and UEF staff are welcome to attend the Campus Happening! The event gathers our university community to celebrate the beginning of the academic year with live music and different activities.

The Campus Happening works as a kick-off for the City Orienteering (Kaupunkisuunnistus), which begins right after the Happening. In the Orienteering, students will go around their campus city in groups and complete different kinds of tasks given to them at different orienteering points. The evening will end with an after party.

The Campus Happening is organised by the University of Eastern Finland (UEF) and the Student Union of the University of Eastern Finland (ISYY).
