This is what I felt after watching how the Introduction Week went last week. I know that this week is important for bachelor’s students, enabling them to get to know the campus and to get to know each other by forming groups.

Intro 2020 | Social student associations all go online
Due to corona, the Intro needed some serious adjustments and there are far fewer physical meetings.

However, the consequences for social student associations are much greater. For example, the club houses cannot open to potential new members and the parties cannot continue as usual. But SSRE, the Eindhovens Studenten Corps and DEMOS refuse to let their heads hang low and come up with creative alternatives to still be able to interest the intro kids for their associations.
