The idea for a Movember student team started with Biomedical Engineering students Jules Lancee and one of his friends, a student in Tilburg. “But our group of friends didn’t really warm up to the idea.” However, his fellow graduate students in Gemini did like the idea to sport a moustache for charity. The team now has sixteen members, most of whom are TU/e students.

Lancee and team member Joris Dufils summarize the concept like this: you look like an ass for a month. But in style, mind you: everyone is cultivating their own special moustache. Lancee is working on a Trucker. “It’s a pretty cool model. And if I have to look like a dork for a month, I might as well be a proper dork.”
