Events

Dive into the wonderful city of Leiden and get to know your fellow first-years during the Crazy 102! Team up with your mentor group or create your own team, and head out into the city at night to complete as many of the 102 wacky tasks as you can. The challenges are inspired by the EJA theme (Science Fiction), De Leidsche Flesch, the city itself, or are just plain crazy! The team that completes the most tasks will win a special themed prize. Join us for a fun pizza session for a maximum of €6 in the Van der Werff Park at 5:30 PM. The main event, the Crazy 102, kicks off around 6:30 PM, also in the Van der Werff Park. Don't miss out! 

It is finally time for the first lunch lecture of the academic year, so please join us on Wedsnesday, September 11th at the Sitterzaal, during the lunchbreak from 12:45 till 13:15 and enjoy a free lunch!

After the long summer holidays it is time for the academic year to start :( But don't be sad, because the DLF Masters Committee is organising an amazing activity! On Wedsnesday September 11th there will be a barbecue at the Fusie (in the Gorlaeus building) starting at 18:00. To welcome all new master students who joined the DLF this summer, this BBQ will be completely free for them! The other students will pay the low price of only €6,-, yes even in this economy! This activity was made possible by DSW, they will hold a short introduction talk during the BBQ. Bachelor students are also welcome :)! We hope that you enjoy your next semester and we'll see you there on the 11th!

On Friday, September 13th, you're invited to reminisce and catch up with old classmates during a fun gathering at the Young Alumni Day. A delicious dinner will be served: pasta from a Parmesan cheese wheel. After dinner, the party will kick off at the Hut van Ome Henne, where we can dance and chat until the late hours. This is something you don't want to miss—a night full of fun, good food, and amazing people, all for a maximum of €17. We look forward to seeing you! 🎉 🍻✨

Are you not really sure what a committee is, or are you just very curious to see which committees will be formed this year? Join the committee interest presentation on Monday, the 16th of september, from 12:45 to 13:15 in the room 2.11-2.14 in the Huygens building! The commissioner of internal affairs will give a presentation with more information about the upcoming committees and the existing guilds, and she will answer all questions you have about anything related to committees and guilds! We hope to see you there :)

The First Years Weekend Committee

Hear ye, hear ye, the signup list for the first years weekend for mentors and crew is open! Join us between September 20th until 22nd for another banger of a weekend in Someren. As mentor, you will guide a group of first years with your duomentor. Your job is to make them feel comfortable to be themselves. As a crew member, you will spend the majority of the time having fun with other higher years. Besides that, you have been chosen to support the committee and mentors with activities and more. Perhaps you have never been to a first years weekend, but no worries, that absolutely is not a requirement! For a maximum of 45 euros we will provide you with a place to sleep, dinner, activities, a good time and more.

Please note: If you sign up, it is not guaranteed that you will be able to join. You will be notified of this at a later date. The deregistration deadline is Sunday, August 25th.
