Hey new students! You hopefully survived the intro week. Now it’s time to relax.
Swing by to pick up your new study books before your first year kicks off… and stick around while you’re at it. It’s a perfect chance to meet up with fellow students, and friends you made during intro. You can also connect with GEWIS members. At this activity you can play games, chill on bean bags, and do some fun sports, while enjoying some refreshing drinks!
Meet us on the 28th of August at the Atlas pond. You’ll recognize us from the big red GEWIS tent!
Are you not a first year student? Come by to welcome the new generation of GEWIS members to our association!
Dear members of S.V. GEWIS,
Every year brings its own trials and its own pleasures. For the freshman just beginning their studies, and for the veteran yearning for a salary above the national average, the same quiet expectation applies: that something worthwhile be made of the year. What that looks like differs from person to person, and what feels like a rut to one may feel like a welcome diversion to another. Yet there is one certainty upon which every member may rely without question: the Month'like Social Drink of The Fraternity "In Vino Veritas".
As we do every year, we are delighted to usher in the new academic year in style and abundance. And as we do every year, we strive to offer you something extra, beyond what you have already come to expect from us. White, red, and sparkling wines will flow generously, so that all your desires may be met. The customary delicacies will, of course, also grace the table. New this year is the knowledge we are proud to share: three of our gentlemen travelled to Reims to hone their craft in the fine art of champagne, apprenticed at the renowned house of Pommery.
As newly minted connoisseurs, we shall unfold this phenomenon, this reception, for you with care and refinement. We therefore warmly invite you to join us on the 31st of August at 17:00. Refreshments, and naturally an abundance of wine, will of course be provided.
We look forward to seeing you in appropriate attire, ready for an evening of decadence.
Cheers!
After a hectic introduction week where you have (hopefully) made a lot of new friends it is time to really start your student life. And no student life without studying. However, you might already heard a lot of concepts you have never heard of, like "Canvas", "TE Timetable", "Plan App" or "Osiris". But don’t be afraid! There is no need to worry. Attending this training will teach you all the basics you need to know to survive all the software at the TU/e.
In case there are more then 70 people that want to attend, there will be a "first come, first serve" policy. In that case the remainder can view the session online.
Don’t forget to bring your laptop!
Are you having a calculus entrance test on September 3rd, but you are not yet sure where to eat beforehand? No worries! AViCo & BAC organizes the Frietkarborrel, a social drink where you can get yourself some nice chips (French fries) and a snack for dinner, so you don’t have to worry about that yourself.
And the best: if you are a first year you even get one item for free! If you are still hungry after that, it is €2,25 per additional snack or portion of fries.
We welcome you all to come somewhere between 16:30 and 20:00 to the Frietkarborrel at the Simon Stevin field (between the Markthall and the pond). No need to sign up! There will be enough fries for everyone!
Even if you do not have a calculus start test, you are welcome to join and get some nice food and a couple of drinks.
We hope to see you all there,
AViCo & BAC
If you enjoyed the intro week as much as we did, you are in luck!
How about we follow up the intro week with an intro weekend? You can sign up now for the FLUP (Intro Follow Up Weekend)!
From the 11th to the 13th of September, we will take you on an unforgettable adventure to a secret location! The weekend will be filled with activities, free food and a lot of fun! For only €15 for first years and €30 for older years (You will even get a €5 discount if you don't want to drink beer during the cantus), it's cheaper than staying at home! If you are only available for Saturday, your ticket will only set you back €20 (+€5 if you are planning on drinking beer during the cantus).
So if you are looking forward to a lot of beer and soda, big comfy couches, games, a barbecue, a great pub crawl and a cantus... Find your favourite intro-committee member or board member, or go to gew.is/flup to buy a ticket!
Are you a first-year student interested in getting to know your fellow students? This is the perfect opportunity to do so!!! An FYC allows you to make friends for life while getting to organise some fun activities. Still not convinced? Join this meeting to learn more about what an FYC entails while getting some inspiration from last year's FYCs
We hope to see you there!!!
TLDR: cool activities, dark cave, sign up
Are you ready for underground adventures in Valkenburg? Tight tunnels. Pitch-black passages. Walls you'll be clinging to. On Saturday October 3rd, we're ditching the daylight and heading deep into the dark underground for a day that'll push you way outside your comfort zone.
Whether you're squeezing through narrow cave corridors on a bike, conquering rock walls in the dark, or venturing into the unknown on an adventurous cave tour, this is the kind of day you'll still be talking about at the next borrel!
There are 3 activities, out of which you will do 2! When signing up, rank your top 2 activity preferences:
🚲 Cave biking
Discover this great underground landscape, by cave bike! Cycle through the cave, going left, right, seeing a high ceiling, then low again, narrow, spacious, no idea where you are anymore.
🔦 Adventurous cave tour
During this escape tour through the caves, you will discover the stories of the quarry workers, and encounter obstacles they left behind. There will be crawling, sneaking, shooting and even crossing the water!
🧗 Cave climbing
The Scramble Tour will take you to places that normally remain closed to the public. One of the guides will take you over several challenging courses including a via ferrata, and an abseil into the old well. Manoeuvre over the obstacles and stare into the depths.
💭 No preference
Be aware: activities will be split 10/10/10 across the group, so you might not get your 2 faves.
Only 30 spots available, so make sure to subscribe quickly! We leave at 10:30 by train. Travel costs are on you.
