TopiConf 2016

Wed 25 May, 10:00, Deventer
Website

A conference by and for Topicus employees. However, they much encourage students from all of the Netherlands to come to Deventer to join them. So we will visit Deventer for a whole day of IT!

If you decide to come to Deventer, the best way to get there is by train. It might be nice to know that for those who don’t travel free during the week, traveling costs will be reimbursed!

TAB-Talk: Anita & Inge (Alledaags)

Thu 26 May, 16:00, CACHE (Cover room)

One question that everyone who studies is asked is: “Do you already know what you are going to do after you’ve finished your thesis?”

After Anita Drenthen and Inge Doesburg finished their HMC master they went to work for a small company in Groningen that makes digital products. They will tell you something about what part of their study they apply in practice, and how working for a company is surprisingly similar as being with the university, or completely different.

But this is a TAB-talk, so if they want to digress to something else, or you want to ask questions about how to select your master programme, it is still a perfectly valid excuse to come by the CACHE Thursday the 26th.

Yearbook Presentation Borrel

Wed 1 Jun, 21:30, De Tapperij

The year is coming to an end, so it is time for the yearbook to be handed out! This borrel will be the ultimate opportunity to get a book that helps you remember all the time you have wasted this year. With a book full of photos of your (drunk) face during Cover’s many activities, funny and interesting pieces of text written by boards and committees and the drunk messages your friends will write in your yearbook during this borrel. That means that this is a borrel you can’t miss!

The first 120 beers will be € 0.50 each. At 23:00 there will be snacks, followed by the presentation of the yearbook. Be sure to be there on time, so you don’t miss out on anything!

Furthermore, there will be plenty of beer (or other drinks), ‘gezelligheid’ and bad music during this borrel. So what are you waiting for? Come by and join us for the night you will remember with a hardcover souvenir of the year 2015–2016!
