FIFA Tournament Tab

Thu 21 Apr, 16:00, CACHE (Cover room)

Participate in the very first Cover FIFA tournament and show your very best passing game, long shots and skill moves to beat your opponents. Ofcourse, with the new FIFA 16 Trainer functionality, the game has an option to show you what to do, meaning that even beginning players can directly pick up and play. From 16.00–17.00 people will get a chance to get familiar with the game and after that the tournament begins.

Even if you don't want to play FIFA, you are more than welcome to come and drink a beer and cheer on all the players!

In the last few years our faculty has become more and more international. For this reason, study associations Lugus, Cover and GLV Idun are collaborating in an international activity for both their Dutch and international members.

The global dinner will be a 3-course meal for max. €7 in which each course will represent a different part of the world. Cover has limited spots to offer, so be quick!

Treasure Hunt: Indiana Jones and the lost treasure of Cover

Tue 26 Apr, 15:00, CACHE (Cover room)

Rumours say, that somewhere in Groningen Cover’s lost treasure is still hidden. Many have searched for it, but none have found it.

With your team you are going to solve assignments and riddles/puzzles to progress towards the treasure! Both the assignments and finding the treasure first earn you points. We start at the CACHE. At several locations there will be assignments to be fulfilled.

Can you find the treasure?

Board Members 2016–2017

Are you interested in being in the next Cover board? A board year is a very valuable experience and a lot of fun! Besides that it is a great addition to your resume. In the first half of April we organize an open board meeting and an board interest night (with former board members as well) so you can learn what being in the board is all about. We also organize personal coffee moments where you can ask anything to a board member. If you have any questions or if you want to request a coffee moment, contact the board or one of its members directly!
