In June, we held a very relaxed event for which each student brought some snacks. We sat together, played card and board games and shared the snacks. The nice atmosphere and good company made the event into a nice afternoon.

SoSe2026: Summer Get Together

At the bi-yearly Get Together for internationals, students from all faculties got the chance to meet and connect with other students as well as faculty staff and professors. After a few welcoming word from our new head of the International Affairs Division, Dr Jennifer Gronau, people got the chance to mingle, eat the amazing dinner prepared by the Studierendenwerk, and had the chance to participate in a raffle and a game of wheel of fortune. Overall, the event was a huge success, and we would like to thank everyone who participated!
