Activities

SNiC: DisruptIT

Wednesday 15th of November, 11:00 till 20:00

DisruptIT is the 11th conference organised by the Stichting Nationaal Informatica Congres, this year study association Cover provides the committee that will organise it and it will be held on the 15th of November.

This year’s theme is Disruptive Technology. Disruptive Technology is technology that displaces an established technology. This will shake up the current industry or is so ground breaking that it creates its own industry. This topic is focussing on current and future technologies that will change the work field of current students. It is hard for students to predict the future of a rapidly changing market. We want to give the students a mind-changing insight into the future.

*Note that this event is sold out and you can only be placed on a waiting list

The Tutoring System is about to launch!

After a long, long time of development the StudCee’s new and improved tutoring system is about to go live! Coming Monday you’ll all be able to access a candidate version of the system at www.tutoring.svcover.nl, and Thursday during the TAB we will celebrate the official release and most importantly: announce the winner of the naming contest!

The tutoring system replaces the old mailing list approach with a fresh looking website that allows people that need tutoring and people that would like to give tutoring to quickly find each other and get in touch. You can leave posts for your requests and offers and easily keep track of communications. All of this will be available starting next week.

So come and join our celebration during the TAB, and find out which name will decorate the site forever!

Long term plan

One of the points from our policy plan is (re-)instating the long term plan. For this we have checked what previous boards did about this and collected that information as far as it was still relevant. However we would love to get the input from our members and see what they think is important for Cover to be focusing on the coming 5 years. So if you have an idea or something you think is important to put in the long term plan please email me on chairman@svcover.nl!
