Dear first-years,

The new academic year is about to begin, and what better way to get to know your fellow students than at our First-Year Weekend from September 19th to 21st? This year, we’re taking you on an intergalactic adventure as true Guardians of the Flesch!

During this action-packed weekend, we’ll dive into the world of space heroes. Expect exciting group activities, a cozy campfire evening, and of course legendary parties in true Guardians style! Meet your future fellow students, make new friends, and kick off the year full of energy and enthusiasm.

Be quick, as spots are limited! For updates and more information, follow us on Instagram: @ejw_deleidscheflesch. Don’t miss a single update!

Kind regards,
The First-Years' Weekend Committee

Dive into the wonderful city of Leiden and get to know your fellow first-years during the Crazy 103! 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 103 wacky tasks as you can. 
The challenges are inspired by the EJA theme (which you have to discover yourself), De Leidsche Flesch, the city itself, or are just plain crazy! The team that completes the most tasks will win an amazing prize.
Join us for a fun pizza session for a maximum of €7 in the Van der Werff Park at 5:30 PM. The main event, the Crazy 103, kicks off around 6:30 PM, also in the Van der Werff Park. 
Don't miss out! 

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 Friday September 12th 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! All other master students will receive a 50% discount on the price. The remaining students will pay the low price of at most €8,-, yes even in this economy! Bachelor students are also welcome :)

We hope that you enjoy your next semester and we'll see you there on the 12th!

Hear ye, hear ye, the signup list for the first years weekend for mentors and crew is open! Join us between September 19th until 21st 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: the maximum number of participants is reached, after signing up you will be put on a waiting list. The deregistration deadline is Sunday, August 31st.

Hello everyone! It's that time again: the Leiden Programming Championship (LPC) is coming up on Saturday the 27th of September! Are you excited to tackle challenging programming problems? Do you want to work in a team of three to solve as many problems as possible, as quickly as possible? Or do you simply want to prove that you don’t need an LLM to code?

Then gather a team and join the LPC! The winners will receive a nice prize and advance to the next round. The day runs from 10:00 to 18:00 and lunch is provided free of charge. Afterwards, we will have a short debrief and a small get-together with a drink, with the option to order pizza at your own expense.

You can participate in teams of 1-3 people.

PLEASE NOTE: This book is only available in Dutch. Please only buy it if you wish to practice your Dutch. Below a short description about the book.
