Exam preparations are coming up!

Hi All! The upcoming week most of us will be prepping for our exams. To help you with that, our amazing StudCee has scheduled some study support lectures, where they will try to cramp all the main subjects of a course into a two hour lecture. This block, they'll help you with Neurophysics, Statistics, Imparative Programming and Introduction to Logic. Good luck and don't forget that the cover room is the place to be for your well deserved study break!

As the end of this block is approaching, also is the next block! You can order your books for semester IB in our Bookstore!

Joejoe,

Marieke


We want you to be in a committee!

A committee is a group of friends that work towards a common goal. You can learn about all sorts of topics such as budgeting, planning, sponsoring, and much more! See the website for a complete overview of committees that are looking for members!


Language Buddy Committee: This new committee will be all about getting international students familiarized with Groningen and the Dutch culture. The buddies, who are members of this committee, are organizing several events for their international first-year students throughout the first year. Coupled with university-class Dutch lessons for the international students, this will enable first-years to put those freshly-learned Dutch phrases into action together with their buddies. Are you a Dutch student and would you like to show someone around in Groningen? Please consider joining the Language Buddy Committee!


ExCee: This committee organises a multi-city trip for usually more than a week! Joining this committee means to design and plan for the perfect trip for you and your fellow members. You decide on where to go and how to spend the money. You will experience how it is to work towards an extraordinarily rewarding experience, while making friends on the go. For more information and inspiration check out the website of the previous ExCee (Excursion Committee).


MxCee: Similiarly to the ExCee, the MxCee (Mega Excursion Committee) organises a trip spanning cities, countries and (sometimes) continents! Is organising an ExCee too easy for you? Then you might want to consider joining this committee: a trip that is longer, farther and more expensive!


ComExA: ComExA stands for Committee of External Affairs. This committee supports the commissioner of external affairs by making and keeping contact with companies. This is important for both the members and the association. Cover needs sponsorship to do all kind of awesome things. You get the chance to get to know a company and maybe even find a company for a final project or for a job.


YearbookCee: This committee creates and publishes the Cover yearbook! The yearbook contains an overview of all activities this year, all our brother and sister associations write a nice piece and the yearbook would not be complete without loads of pictures! Would you like to be part of the designing of the new yearbook? Then maybe you'd like being in the YearbookCee!


Are you interested in joining a committee? Don't hesitate to contact Feline, our Commissioner of Internal Affairs!


Nice to know

SNiC: The sign-ups for the SNiC symposium ResilIT are opened! SNiC is a congress organisation that organizes the yearly national student conference on IT. The event will be in Amersfoort, however they have arranged for busses to drive us to the event and back to Groningen. You can sign up on the Cover site for just 7,50 euro! For more information, you can visit their website.


Knaek: Maybe you've never heard of it, maybe you've always wanted one, this is your opportunity to receive a free Knaek pas! A Knaek pas is a student-only pas which gives you discounts al around the city. At restaurants shops, bars and many more locations. You can use this pas infinately many times throughout the whole year. Interested? Pick yours up at the Cover Room, but be quick because there is only a limited amount!


Groningen Tech Exchange: Join us at the CIT on the Zernike campus for an informal and sociable evening. In this edition the subject will be about IoT and domotics (Home automation) where two to three speakers will be giving a talk about their projects. Come and meet new people with the same interest and exchange ideas. Ask questions and get inspired! You can sign up here for free!

When: Wednesday 06 November, 19:00 - 22:00.
Where: CIT Smitsborg, Nettelbosje 1.
