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 18th to 20th? This year, we’re taking you into a world of espionage and high stakes as true secret agents in our Casino Royale!

During this thrilling weekend, we’ll dive into the glamorous life of 007. Expect exciting group missions, a classy casino night, and of course legendary parties in true James Bond 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

Hear ye, hear ye, the signup list for the first years weekend for mentors and crew is open! Join us from September the 18th until the 20st for another banger of a weekend in Someren. As a mentor, you will guide a group of first years with your duomentor. Your job is to make them feel comfortable and introduce them to our wonderful association. As a crew member, you will spend the majority of the time having fun with other higher years. Besides that, you are the chosen one 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! Are you a first year student in study year 2025-2026? That is also not a problem! For a maximum of 50 euros we will provide you with a place to sleep, dinner, activities, a good time and more.

The time has come again for the yearly first-years BBQ! Are you a first-year or senior student and do you enjoy a delicious (and cheap) barbecue? Then this is the activity for you. It is bound to be a splashing evening with your (new) friends where you can meet all sorts of other people from De Leidsche Flesch. Make sure Monday 28th of September is blocked in your calendar, see you then!

As a first-year student the price is €5. For senior members it is €7,50.

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 Monday September 14th there will be a barbecue at the Fusie (in the Gorlaeus building) starting at 18:00 sponsored by our partner Fortezza. Fortezza is an IT company helping mid-size companies with their IT solutions and maintaining their infrastructure. During the BBQ you will have the opportunity to talk to them and ask all your questions! 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 pay €5,- . The remaining students will pay the low price of at most €9,-, 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 14th!

As the academic year is coming to a start, it is also once again time for the annual Leiden Programming Championship, made possible by Netcompany! On the 26th of September, you can sign up with a team of 1 to 3 people to tackle a series of challenging programming problems!

The winners will receive a prize, and move on the next round at the BAPC! The day is including free lunch, and with drinks afterwards! Not prepared enough yet? There will also be a practice session at a still to be decided date. Hope to see you there!

Do you want to join the BAPC💻💻? You can as a crewer. Every competition is only possible due to the crew that runs everything from behind the scenes and you can be part of it. As crewer you help with the sign up of the teams, the construction of the venue, and preparing the lunch just to name a few things. The crew makes sure that the competition can actually happen and of course this is not without a reward.
