Senpai is organizing an anime-themed sitz party on 18.4.. A Sitz party is a traditional academic dinner celebration, an important part of which is singing together (mostly in Finnish). Our songwriters have been hard at work writing anime themed group songs for us, some new and others from the previous year’s party. During the evening, a three-course menu, a couple pours of sake and a soft drink are included in the admission price (15 €). Participants are also allowed and even encouraged to bring their own drinks. The sitz party can also be attended alcohol-free.
The dress code is smart casual. You can also dress according to the anime theme, for example with a cosplay.

The party starts at 18:00 in Osakuntasali (Rehtorinpellonkatu 4-6 B) but make sure to arrive by 17:45 so the evening program can get started on time.
