Dear GEWISsers!
As everyone probably already has heard, the intro will be very different next year. Sadly, also the FLUP cannot be organised as it was previous years. As the intro committee, we still want to organise some other activity that will fulfil the goals of the FLUP, but also conforms to the corona regulations. We already have some plans of our own, but together we know much more, so we need YOU (insert uncle Sam meme) to help us come up with the best ideas. For this purpose, we are organizing a brainstorm session on 23rd of June from 12:35 until 13:25, the first Tuesday of the exam period. The session will probably be held on the GEWIScord server in one of the meeting spaces voice channels. If too many people will join the brainstorm, the location might switch to Teams. This will be communicated at least before Monday the 22nd 23:59.
Hope to see you there,
Intro20
Banners, you love them, we love them, they love them and ESPECIALLY the board loves them! That is why the board asked every committee to design a banner and send it in to the board. Of course, we have received a lot of beautiful creations and winner needs to be picked. This competition will take place this Friday at 6 p.m. At first the board will present all banners. After this the board will have a small discussion amongst themselves to determine the winner of the amazing prize! This absolutely fabulous price will of course be a BANNER! So make sure you do not miss this occasion and join the twitch.tv/svgewis Friday at 6 o'clock!
We are back! This Thursday the first drink in the corona time will take place. This is a pilotdrink to see if activities are going well with the 1.5 meter rules. But that does not stop us, we will all enjoy it. During this drink you will sit on a yellow picnic bench with the 4 of you and you will not go away from this, unless you have to pee. The BAC will bring you your delicious beers. More explanation about the protocols will follow.
You can register per person or with a group of maximum 4. If there are more than 24 people on the registration list before the deadline, there will be a draw. A group then has as much chance of being drawn as a single participant. But then you can see your friends who you have only seen via webcam for the last three months. Note: Your group only counts once in the draw, you can only participate in one group or registration.
Hi all,
We hope you are doing well in these strange times. Luckily, we from GEPWNAGE are well-equipped to lock ourselves in and amuse ourselves with all the luxuries the world wide web has to offer. We are proud to see that all other fraternities have paid attention to our lessons in how to set up a nerdy activity. The digital activities all the parties from GEWIS have organized have helped everybody escape the social confinement brought on to us by the virus. We have enjoyed watching keuken met I.V.V on Twitch, joining the quiz from GELIMBO, drinking the cocktails from B.O.O.M, the escape room from ATHENA, and the Daily Defi Dare from Défi.
While these activities made the quarantine exciting and fun, it is time to set the first 1.5 meter steps to the outside world. Sitting inside is the last thing we want for the rest of this year. It just so happens to be that the board agrees, and we are proud to announce that we have permission to organize the first offline activity (sort of) in a long time. It is time to dance of joy and show your best moves on some funky beats and join us at the JUST DANCE COMPO 2020! Show us that your moves are the best moves and beat your dancing rivals to take home the most AWESOME price there is: the honor of saying you beat 29 other GEWIS'ers this year in the most regulated tournament of GEWIS ever.
There are only 24 spots available. The subscription list will open Monday at 13:00. If there are more than 24 participants subscribed by Monday at 14:00, we will select 24 participants with the help of random.org.
TL:DR; UNLEASH YOUR INNER DANCER Tuesday June 16th at 12:00
KTHNXBYE,
GEPWNAGE
P.S: during the activity, you will have to keep 1.5 meter distance from others at all times and you will be required to regularly disinfect your hands. The activity is laid out such that keeping 1.5 meter distance should not be an issue.

Tuesday Picnic joins us for a joint Lecture from their CTO Daniel Gebler and Joris van Tatenhove. This lecture will look at how online supermarket Picnic upscaled both their online traffic and their offline distribution. This session will approach Picnic both from the Mathematical and the Computer Science side!
The first part will be about business as unusual – How to thrive in the new normal by Daniel Gebler, CTO Picnic. Picnic is the world’s fastest growing online supermarket that makes grocery shopping simple, fun, and affordable for everyone. But what happens if a significant exogenous shock leads to 10x demand and 0.1x supply? How to use this as an opportunity to make cities smarter, safer, and cleaner?
The second part will be about Distribution at Picnic by Joris van Tatenhove Logistics is all about solving hard CS problems. And this became even more fun with the new normal ;) How to solve a problem where heuristics depend on data which is no longer predictive?
Join our session and get inspired by how we made multi-factor optimisation fun.
Are you are an adventurous student who likes the spirit of nature and is not afraid to be active for some part of the weekend, or a student who loves to drink beer while sitting at a campfire all night? If you can answer this question with "yes", don't hesitate and join us next year!
Each year we spend this weekend on a campsite. We organise some great activities for you, we make sure there is a river to "stream" in (ask B.O.O.M. members for details) and a campfire to sit at when it's dark and cold. Examples of activities of previous years are mountain biking, spelunking and canoeing. Since we are on a campsite, we will sleep in cozy tents.
This year, we will visit the Eifel in Germany. The weekend will take place from 5th till 7th of June 2020. If you want to join please subscribe below. If you have a car that can take people to Germany please let us know in the form as well. We would also like to know if you have a tent and how many people could fit in it. We will not make tent groups but this might give other people some help in asking around to find a place to sleep :)
We are planning on taking 50 persons to our awesome weekend, so subscribe as soon as possible!
Met takken!
Do you also miss GEWIS and your GEWIS friend(s) during the quarantine time? We as the committee Stijl did so, therefore we came up with the initiative that you can send a GEWIS postcard to your friends. The subscription for the cards opens at the GEWIS website at Friday the 5th of June 2020 at 12.00h. There are 120 cards available (max. 2 per participant), so make sure that if you want to have the possibility to send a card, you subscribe within 4 hours after opening (so before 16.00h). If there are more then 120 subscribers, there will be a draw and the first 120 participants will be able to send 1 postcard. If there are less then 120 subscribers but the total amount of requested postcards is higher than 120, then there will be a draw for the second card. After the closing of the subscription list and when you are within the 120 participants that can send a postcard, you will receive an email with the Google Forms link. Here, you can choose between different designs, to who you want to send the postcard, personalize text and fill in the address. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us via stijl@gewis.nl. Summary GEWIS post cards • View the designs here! • Opening subscription list at Friday 5th of June 12.00h • Draw if more than 120 card subscriptions after Friday 5th of June 16.00h • Maximal 2 cards per participant • Costs: free!
Are you also sick of the COVID-19 virus and living in quarantine? We as ATHENA members definitely miss it to be with each other, laughing, eating sweets, and drinking cocktails. Want to escape reality for a bit? We have designed an escape room for you all, which you can join in teams of 4-6 people. The activity will take place on the 3rd of June. We will release the documents that you need to escape at exactly 19:30 in the GEWIScord. We will give you 2 hours to decipher the code, but try to escape as soon as possible because the winners will get a sweet price.
Will you be able to make a sweet escape?
Hey everyone!
On the 3rd of June the online committee market will be held during the lunchbreak. The committees of GEWIS will be present in the GEWIS discord to inform you about their committee, the way they work, their goals etc. Every committee will have their own voice and text channel where you can ask them questions or maybe get to know some members in a more informal way.
So from 12:30 until 13:30 you can drop by in the GEWIScord to ask any questions you might have to the committees you are interested in. If you do not know what committees there are or if you do not know if you are interested in joining one, you can also just drop by to observe, there are no strings attached!
We hope to see you all there!
Kind regards,
The 38th board
P.S. Here is the link to the discord: https://discord.gg/UcHhJYf
Are you getting bored every evening? Do you miss showing off creative drawings you made during lectures? Then we have the perfect solution! On Wednesday the 2th of June the AC presents a Skribbl.io evening! This is a game similar to pictionary that is played online where others try to guess your drawings. We will start at 20:00 and communiCAte using the GEWIScord. Subscribe with your friends and grab a beer for a relaxing evening. There will also be a small twist for the first few rounds which could be used to your advantage with guessing...
Am I hungry or just bored? Do I need to eat less because I am sitting at home? What is suggested to eat right now? How can I stop my cravings? Those are questions you might have during this quarantine. You might have other questions regarding food. TRAIN wants to help you get those questions answered. Yvonne de Kinkelder, the food coach of the SSC is making a podcast about all kinds of food related topics during quarantine. She can help you answer your questions, but she needs to know which question you might have! TRAIN will send all your questions to her and they might get answered. The podcast will be uploaded to the SSC YouTube channel. Tune in for the podcast of the SSC and you may get your questions answered. We hope to (virtually) “see†you there!
Here is the form for sending in questions.
Dear GEWIS member,
Due to the Corona crisis, the yearly ATHENA/B.O.O.M./BAC cocktail buitenborrel with burgers can not take place this year, which is of course very sad. Therefore, B.O.O.M. and ATHENA have been thinking about some alternatives for you (and for ourselves of course). We came up with the amazing idea to cook burgers and make cocktails at home, and we call it ‘Burgers bakken en cocktails hakken!’. Thursday the 28th of May, the one and only Tom ‘Cocktail Guy’ Slenders will teach you how to make three different cocktails. You can follow the livestream at twitch.tv/cocktailslive, which starts at 19.30h. During this livestream there will be some breaks, during which you can drink your cocktail on the GEWIS discord. We made you a shopping list, which you can find here: ShoppingList.pdf. In this list you can also find the tools you’ll need for making the cocktails, and some ideas for substitutes if you don’t have these tools at home.
There is more! From this moment onward, you can join the B.O.O.M. Burger Battle. Make a small video, a photo collage, or whatever you like, of yourself creating the most delicious burger. Send in your result by emailing to burgerbattle@mettakken.nl, before Thursday the 28th (Wednesday night at the latest). The most delicious, most beautiful, most creative or must funny result might even win a small price! Don't know how to start? Watch this video for some burger-inspiration: Burger Battle Inspiration.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Hugs, kisses and mettakken,
ATHENA and B.O.O.M.
Join the spectacular awesome Intro Theme Announcement Borrel uuhm Activity…
We are very sad that we cannot reveal the Intro Theme to you while enjoying a drink at GEWIS with a home-made video. However, we can still reveal the Intro Theme to you at home while having a beer with a home-made oh I’m not allowed to say.
On Tuesday 26th of May, a new creature will appear at GEWIScord. Is it human? Is it software? No, it is an Intro20 bot. The Intro20 bot will lead you, in teams of four, through all challenges and in the end, you will find the treasure.
Thus grab your beer, take a urination break, and prepare for a series of challenges that will lead you to the Intro Theme of 2020. You can subscribe to the ITBA on the GEWIS website and on the 26th of May at 18:30 the Intro20 bot, with the assistance of the Intro20 committee members, will be ready to welcome you all!
Please be aware that the activity is just to guess the theme, you do not have to become an intro parent.
Talk to you then!
Kisses, Intro20 Committee
