- Intro , Student
- 19/08/2019
This Intro for new bachelor students involves approximately twenty-five hundred participants (including supervisors), who are ultimately indispensable partners to each other in groups for a week. This Monday they met each other, their departments, the campus and a first glimpse of the city, and then returned to the Flux field for the opening party (with performances by Band with Benefits and Happy Feelings and DJ duos Pep & Rash and Lampegastuh).
Henriëtte Eijking of the Central Introduction Committee (CIC) looks back on a very succesful first day, so far. “Everything went even better than I had expected. For example, queues for late registration weren’t too bad.” Waiting for lunch, on the other hand, took a little longer than desirable, but that should now also go more smoothly, Eijking says.

Coin machines
Another ‘minor problem’ was the lack of coin machines on the Flux field on Monday, where intro-participants can use their bank card to buy consumption coins for the bars over there. A case of miscommunication, "but they will be there the rest of the week.” Coins could be scored at the Intro office instead this Monday, "we have messaged the supervisors and asked them to drop by to stock up on coins for their entire group."
With the first day being almost finished, Eijking is satisfied for the time being - and believes that the same feeling of satisfaction is also felt by the participants. "At the places I have been, I have seen many happy faces so far."
Those happy faces were also captured by our video reporter Collin Wagenmakers. He is out all week to report on the Intro through daily video recaps. So for those a little overwhelmed by all the impressions on this first day: take a laid back look back above and browse through our Instagram stories.
