The Ask Me! campaign welcomes new students to the University of Oulu – Join Us!

During the campaign, new students can easily approach a more experienced student or a staff member to ask questions. The campaign is easy to recognize by the pink Ask Me! logo, visible from mid-August to the end of September on both the Linnanmaa and Kontinkangas campuses – and across the university’s communication channels.
Would you like to take part?
Join the Ask Me! campaign and support new students as they start their journey at the university. It’s easy!
By signing up now, you’ll receive an Ask Me! badge – a sign that it’s safe to ask you questions. You probably remember what kinds of thoughts ran through your mind when you first started: “Where’s my classroom?”, “How do I sign up for classes?”, or “Where can I get lunch?”
You don’t need to have all the answers. It’s enough to be willing to stop for a moment, listen, and help the new student figure things out – or guide them to someone who can.
As a campaign participant, you’ll receive:
- a ready-made list of typical questions new students might ask
- helpful tips on student services – useful for you, too!
- and in addition to a good feeling, a joint surprise event to thank all participants
Campaign period: 14 August – 30 September 2025
You can wear your Ask Me! badge whenever it suits you. After the campaign, badges will be returned to designated collection boxes on campus.
