Actie: Dodgeball against Stuff

Date & time: Monday 24 March, 20:00

You remember those times when you played dodgeball in secondary school? It was awesome right throwing a ball at your opponents as hard as possible. To make it even more awesome, this time we will not be playing against Cover members, but against the study association Stuff. Stuff is the study association for Philosophy, so proof for once and for all that we are the best! Covers' name is at stake.

Afterwards we will go into the city and have a few drinks with the members of Stuff. More information on the locations will be announced soon!

General Assembly

Location: X 5114.043 (Nijenborgh)

We like to invite you all to the General Assembly! Among other things, a change in our rules and regulations (HR) will be discussed. All documents will be made available (on the website and in the SLACK) one week in advance. We request that you read them before the assembly to let the meeting go as smoothly as possible.

Even though the meeting will be held in Dutch, we will make as many documents as possible available in English, so everybody has the chance to read them and authorize someone else to vote for them. You can find the authorization form and the agenda in your mailbox.

All the other Dutch study associations are also invited, so this will be a great way to meet other AI students in the Netherlands and discuss the differences of the different studies throughout the Netherlands.

Do you want to earn some extra money by making students in their forth year of high school enthusiastic about our faculty? We can use your help at the College Carrousel 2014! 1, 2, 3, 8, 9 and 10 april busses full of kids will arrive that need to be accompanied during the day. For helping us an afternoon, we will give you 15 euros. For a whole day, you will get 35 euros! It is also possible to help multiple afternoons or days. There are a couple of different jobs available, like guiding a group or giving a short presentation in Science Linx.

Unfortunately for the international students, it is required for the College Carrousel to speak Dutch.
