Dear esteemed member of GEWIS,

With the year (almost) passed, people set their sights on all that is to come in the upcoming year. Many have a vision with grand goals in mind. Running a marathon, finding true love, or finally finishing that degree.

While these goals often bring about major changes in the daily order of life, Fraternity "In Vino Veritas" still provides a constant. A warm place where you, with your fellow student, can discuss this new direction of your life phase, with a glass of (sparkling) wine or a cocktail. "In Vino Veritas" therefore invites you to toast to the new year at the Month'like Drink on Monday, January 6, 2025.

The Fraternity of GEWIS welcomes you from 5:00 PM in 't Dakterras at the Month'like Drink to toast to your new endeavors. The Fraternity will provide festive wine, cocktails, and some snacks to complement the atmosphere.

Yours sincerely,  Quaestor Henkemans

Do you wish you had the opportunity to tell your friends you missed them during the holidays by beating their asses in a night of awesome trivia and winning an awesome prize at the same time? Then you have come to the right spot! On the 10th of January, GEPWNAGE will organize another edition of the GEPWNAGE pubquiz at Hubble. Last year, the theme was music, but this year we’ve decided to broaden our and hopefully your horizons a little bit. Does that sound like fun to you? Then grab your friends and subscribe in teams of three to five people. This activity has a participation fee of 1,50 and there are only 40 spots available so make sure to sign up quickly!

Hugs and kisses, GEPWNAGE

How would you protect your IP when it is no longer in your own hands? This business case explores the way of thinking a team of consultants followed to get to a working solution.

Note: after subscribing, showing up is mandatory! There are 135 spots only with first come first serve and GEWIS members get priority. You can earn 1 my future activity with this lecture.

Have you ever needed a professional picture for you LinkedIn profile or for your CV? Or do you already have such a picture, but you need a newer one? Then this activity is perfect for you!

GEFLITST will have a professional photoshoot, perfect for pictures that you might need for your CV or any other professional documents. The photoshoot will be held in the Market Hall in front of MetaForum and one of our experienced members will take high quality pictures that will be edited and uploaded, so you can use them for anything you might need! 

Since we have limited time we have several timeslots. Please fill in your preferred timeslot when registering for the activity.  Because of limited time we can't guarantee that you will be given your preferred timeslot but we will try to our best to accommodate everyone. There is a capacity of 30 people and the subscription works on a first-come first-serve basis.

When people become GEWIS members, they get the opportunity to receive a membership card. This card has your name and GEWIS number on it, and it can be used to join activities, and to order drinks during a borrel (social drink). 

Because we don't want to print unnecessarily, you can sign up for this opt-in list if you want to receive such a membership card. Make sure to opt-in before the 1st of February if you would like one! 

You have to pick up your card if you register. You will get an e-mail once your card has arrived! 

Note: you don't need a card to join activities or borrels.

So, you’ve found yourself in your house shying away from the stormy, cold weather outside, exaggerating your own anguish and thus amplifying it. The only thing you can do about it now, is to find some friends so you don’t have to suffer together. Sadly your friends are far away and you’ll have to walk all by yourself to get to them. What to do now?

Luckily we have the solution for you: walk together! You won’t be lonely this winter, as you’ll be going on the best weekend of the year, the GEDWAAL weekend! We will do a nice hike together through the beautiful landscapes of Beek. 

After this nice refreshing jaunt, you’ll be able to take some time to reheat your innards for a while, after which you’ll be busy competing in a fabulous Saturday-night activity. Taking a well-deserved rest will charge us right back up for a spectacular activity on Sunday, which will lead us to the end of the weekend. 

There is an option to bring your luggage with you while hiking, which will grant you a huge discount of €5!!!!!  If there are too many people who want to put their luggage in the car, we will do a draw amongst the ones who are also able to hike with it. 

We will be traveling to our location by train, and will be gathering at Eindhoven Centraal.

Initially there will be 25 spots available, of which 8 spots can leave their luggage in the car. These numbers might be increased if interest is shown. If these spots are filled up before 9 December, 2024 at 12:00 PM, a draw will happen. Otherwise it is first come first serve. At the draw, priority will be given to those who can bring their luggage on the hike.

Hello everyone, Also this year ATHENA is organising an exciting trip. After having gone to Germany and Belgium with the previous two trips, we have decided to stay within the Netherlands🇳🇱 this year around. After some heavy thinking we have landed on the beautiful city of Leiden🏙. With all its canals and beautiful old buildings and streets we will for sure experience the real culture of Dutch architecture. To make the stay even more exited, this year we will be sleeping on a klipper (a sailing ship) ⛵that is located on the Zijlsingel of Leiden.  The weekend will take place from Friday the 14th of February until Sunday the 16th of February. In addition to the stay on the Klipper we have arranged for breakfast🥐, some fun activities and dinner on the Saturday. The remainder of the weekend you will have free time to enjoy, join us on a beautiful walk through Leiden and visit the many cultural aspects this city has to offer🚶‍♀.  The subscription list will open Wednesday the 23rd of October at 12.30. There are 30 spots available, so be sure to subscribe on time! -    If there are more than 30 subscription before Monday the 4th of November at 12:30 there will be a draw amongst those who subscribed before this deadline. After this it will be first come first serve. -    If the subscription is not full before this deadline, the participants will be based on a first come first serve basis. We will travel to Leiden by train🚄, so please indicate if you have week, weekend or no OV. The exact start and end times of the weekend will be communicated later, based on availability. Not important to forget our weekend takes place starting on the Friday when it is also valentine’s day💞. Of course, we will not forget to celebrate this with an activity on the Friday evening! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us in person, via mail or via a post owl🦉💌.  Hugs, ATHENA 🦉🩷🩵

Dearest Reader,

We (the Supremum committee) hope you are enjoying reading this edition of Supremum; and all previous ones <3. As always, a lot of work went into creating it for you. Creating the Supremum is something we gladly do with love and we are always very proud of every edition. It is truly special to know that something we worked hard on is received (and hopefully read) by so many GEWIS members. We thank you for this. 

In the last year we have been looking into ways to cut some costs for GEWIS. Therefore, we have decided to make an opt-in list. If you would like to keep receiving the Supremum on your doorstep every time a new comes out, please make sure to subscribe to this activity. This also counts for active GEWIS members! If you do not subscribe to the list, you will not receive a Supremum!

So if you enjoy reading the Supremum and would like to have the next editions delivered to your doorstep, make sure to subscribe to the opt-in list on the GEWIS website activity page, or go to gew.is/supremum.

Note for graduates: if you indicated this year you want a Supremum renewal, you don't have to subscribe for the opt-in list.

As always GEWIS will join the prince and together walk the “Stropdassen kroegentocht”. Again as always it will take place on the Sunday (2nd of March ) of carnaval. The ticket sale will open on the 29th of November at 12:00 (noon).

So be quick as you have to arrange your own “tie” and they normally sell out in under 20 minutes. If you managed to get a “tie” and you want to walk together with the prince,  then you can join the WhatsApp group here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FA9Dl34oEY8LqfZi1NfvCW

It's party time, because GEPWNAGE is organizing GEPWNAGE LAN party F.0! A weekend of sleep deprivation (optional), lots of food and drinks (optional but strongly recommended) and most important: a lot of gaming (not optional).

More than just computer games -  We have board games, consoles, beer and soda, and other (non-digital) stuff for your entertainment. Just like last year, there are  alpacas on-site! On top of these (gaming) possibilities, we'll also be hosting various competitions, where you can show off your skills and win prizes! Make sure you keep an eye on the poster screens for the latest announcements and get a head-start with practising ;)

So join us March 7-8-9, at group accommodation W'tjewel for this fantastic activity!

For more information, see lan.gepwnage.nl

Subscribe fast, as there are only 60 spots available. If you are subscribed when the list closes, you are expected to pay (see activity policy for more information). Alcohol is not included in the ticket price. Beers will be sold via SudoSOS on the LAN location.

However beautiful the Netherlands may be, sometimes we need to get out for a weekend. Unfortunately, we are poor students and don’t have money to book a flight. Before you start to wail in agony, we can present you a better method, a cheaper method, a more fun method: Hitchhiking!

For only 50 measly euros you can make your way all the way to Hamburg!

Though you should know this will not be a leisurely voyage. The goal is not just to get to your destination, but to do it as fast as possible. Find your favorite friend, piece together some cardboard signs and hop in a strangers car! There will be challenges to fulfill along the way which can improve your final time!

Since we don’t have infinite stamina and are hungover on Sunday morning, we will all travel back by train together on Sunday evening.

To help you all on your way and make sure that you build the extensive skill set needed for hitchhiking, we will be organizing an information session with some general information and a couple of helpful tips.

If there are more than 15 duo's within 24 hours, a draw will be held. After this, the subscription will be "first come, first served". Do make sure to subscribe, since there will be a waiting list!

In contrast to previous years, you now both need to subscribe with the same team name.
