Happy birthday TLU
Jippii
Today is the day when Tallinn University has a birthday. Isn't it fun??
Best thing about this is that the students of Tallinn University weren't absolutely informed about this. The public relations department who is organizing today a fancy birthday party decided that students are not welcome to the party. So they decided not to send out any message about the birthday. That is nice or what? At the same time Tallinn University is talking about problem that students of Tallinn University don't feel like a big family. And this is going to help, when you don't invite them to the birthday of university???
So about the party. I am working in Student Union so I know some things. The party is meant only for the workers of TLU and TLU's partners. All workers got an invitation to the party except the board of Student Union, who are officially workers of TLU as well. Great, students were totally left out this time. When Student Union went to talk to public relations office, they asked not to go and tell rector that student representatives are not invited. Well, we did go and after that PR department said that we can buy the tickets for 500.- EEK per person. Who is the entertainer? Rihanna? This is nuts.
Well finally we managed to get things so far that we didn't have to buy tickets, we got them for free. But still question is in my mind. Why is the birthday of Tallinn University only for workers??? Students make the university, why aren't they invited???

Welcome
Hello,
My name is Tormis Laanisto and I am a second year PR student of Tallinn University Baltic Film and Media School. i am also the chairman of BFM student council BaFiMe. I am working in the Tallinn University Student Union as a PR specialist so the educational issues are very interesting for me. I am fighting for ability to get the best education I can get and this is one reason I have started this blog.
My point making this blog is not to offend anyone. I will not mention any names and try to make some people look bad in the eyes of the readers. My point is to bring out the problems from the viewpoint of a student. The blog is not to say that things are undone or something like that, it is to help people see what are the problems and to give some solutions to solve problems. I am willing to give a hand solving these problems. My idea is that when I am paying a lot of money for my education I want to get good quality education in return, not just the degree. Comments on my blog are more than welcome, so comment when ever you have something to say to me.
As I also work in Tallinn University Student Union my very big concern is that students of Baltic Film and Media School don't feel like a part of Tallinn University. There was a questionnaire for the freshmen of Tallinn University and so also for the freshmen of BFM. There was a question: When you applied into Tallinn University did you also apply into some other university. There were many answers given. As the last answer there was given a chance to write some other university not listed above and one student wrote BFM. This answer was not given because BFM is part of Tallinn University. In my eyes this is very bad that our students don't actually know where they are.
I can't say that this is only problem of this one student. I read from newspapers all the time some things about BFM but there is not always mentioned that it is TALLINN UNIVERSITY BALTIC FILM AND MEDIA SCHOOL. Why? I don't know the answer.
As I am also part of BFM student council it is subject close to my heart that our students would know that they are students of Tallinn University and also to make sure that new students coming to BFM would also know where they are entering.
