SINTERKLAAS! SOCKS! SINTERKLAAS!

Hey heeeeyy!

Cover now uses a new slick website that looks very slick! Did I mention it's slick?! It really is! You can also see that by how long this link is!.

Are you not convinced? Press the HUGE Cover logo below! The website was officially launched a few days back at the Cover Social!

   

NOW, onto the upcoming events! We got a nice CoverTalk coming up with our in-house professor Stephen Jones! The best part about it is that it's relevant for all students, because he is going to be talking about our favourite thing: EXAMS! More specifically, on the similarities and differences between studying for learning and studying for exams.

Now, another cool thingy coming up is the Exellus lunch lecture, where we will learn how we can automate our home using Raspberries! Raspberries Pis to be exact. My passion project will be automating my coffee machine so that I wake up to the smell of coffee. If that sounds cool, you should also join! (yes, I know there are machines that do that anyway, but I don't have one of those).

That's it for now! Also stay tuned for some Gala news! It's coming up quick!

Ah also also! Scroll all the way down for your Sinterklaas gift!

Toedeloe,

Leo

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!

IntroCee: Every year Cover organises the Introduction Day and Camp for first-year students of AI and CS. If you would like to be responsible for this amazing weekend filled with great activities and people, then sign up now for the IntroCee!

IlluminaTee: The IlluminaTee organizes events together with the Commissioner of Educational Affairs, that will be educational and supplementary to the degree programs, such as the CoverTalks!

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

Nice to know

FSE Christmas Committee: As the holidays are round the corner, a group from the Bèta Student Federation has started an initiative to bring some holiday cheer! They have set up an FSE radio through Discord where music is played 24/7. You can request songs and also nominate songs to be in the Top500 FSE playlist. You can also sign up for an FSE Holiday Student Family until 7 Dec to celebrate the holidays together with other students from the faculty. More information can be found on the Nice to Know page.

A message from the AI Academic Advisors: During open office hours, students are welcome to attend in groups, if they have a common question, or are interested in listening in on questions asked by others. For personal questions, we suggest students make an appointment that others can't 'burst into'. If you are a bachelors student of AI, you can join here (Tuesday 11.00-11.30) and if you are a masters student of AI, you can join here (Thursday 11.00-11.30).

ICT Day 2020: Attention ICT-students! On December the 16th, a large interactive and informative hybrid event will take place where you can put yourself in the spotlight and easily come into contact with fellow students and organizations. Interesting organizations will join us to discuss trends in the field of ICT. The theme “Data-driven living together” is central. You can follow a workshop given by the organization that you think is most interesting. Finally, it will be concluded with a pleasant online drink in which you, again, have the opportunity to talk to organizations that you are interested in. Sign-up here!
