As Dean, Kristiina Kruus has actively supported the guild’s activities, promoted cooperation between students and the school, and supported students in many ways. Her long-standing connection to the guild dates back to her own student days, when she served as the guild’s hostess in 1981.

The history of the Chemistry Guild dates to 1891, making it the oldest of Aalto University’s guilds. The guild organizes meetings, parties, and study and recreational trips, and offers its members a wide variety of events centered around sports, culture, and socializing. Excursions and the initiation of new students also play an important role.
