OYY is looking for nominations for receivers of the OYY honorary academic decorations
The honorary academic decorations will be awarded at the Student Union anniversary ball to honour the work that has been done for the students. We request you to send in the nominations on Wednesday, 14 January 2026 at the latest.
The Student Union commemorates distinguished people in the academic community with honorary decorations. There are four classes of OYY’s honorary academic decorations: a badge of honour, and the first, second and third class medals.
OYY is requesting student societies to provide their nominations for receivers of the OYY’s honorary academic decorations. The deadline for the nominations is 14 January 2026. The decorations will be awarded as a part of the Annos 66 anniversary ball, which will take place on 28 February 2026.
The student societies can nominate candidates for receiving a decoration with this form.
The Board of OYY awards the decorations based on its Rules for Honorary Decorations at the proposal of the Honorary Committee. You can find the rules from OYY’s website. The decision-making will not account for the positions of trust of the nominated candidates which have begun during 2026. Exceptional activity, acting as a Chair or working within OYY receive special recognition in the decision-making.
