Last General Assembly, we announced the formation of a new committee: Tee!

Tee is the Committee in charge of Cover Merchandise! They will design, order and manage merchandise for the association. At least once a year, they aim to drop a collection of Cover merch that may or may not be available again in the future.

Simply put, if you love Cover and want to represent your association with some awesome swag, keep an eye on what Tee brings to the association! We look eager to your first drop.

Tee was founded with the following members:

• Luca Drouillet - Chair
• Tabea Jäkel - Secretary
• Arwen Moens - Treasurer
• Richard Harnisch - General Member

Esteemed Scholars and Aspirants,

The time has come for the gates of Io Vivat to creak open, allowing a select few to join our hallowed ranks. For those who dare to transcend the ordinary and seek a world resplendent with profound discourse, rarefied culture, and the fellowship of like-minded connoisseurs, this is your call.

Io Vivat is not merely a dispuut—it is an ideal, a sanctuary for those members of Cover who go above and beyond, who live student life to its fullest, and who seek to leave an indelible mark on the association. We gather to celebrate thought and expression beyond the pedestrian concerns of the everyday. Our events are filled with spirited song, candle-lit delights, and the subtle enjoyment of connecting with those whose ambitions are larger than life itself.

We extend our invitation only to those whose souls have heard this call—to those who know that life is an art to be mastered, not merely endured. If you believe that you are destined for something far beyond the humdrum, we urge you to present yourself for consideration.

The discerning shall find our recruitment not for the faint of heart, but for those whose spirits are indomitable and whose aspirations are limitless. In light of the camaraderie that membership entails, all aspirants must present themselves in pairs. Direct your request as a pair, hand-written, to a current member of Io Vivat for a chance at membership in this exclusive group by Friday, December 6th.

Praebibo tibi, Sit saluti, Prosit.

The Io Vivat Senaat

🤖 We’re excited to announce that the Benelux Algorithm Programming Contest (BAPC) will take place at the Zernike Campus on October 26, 2024.

The best teams will advance to the NWERC and potentially the ICPC World Finals! 🌍🏆

💻 In this event, 50 student teams will compete in the study landscape from Bernoulliborg. Considering the size of this event, we’re also looking for volunteers to help make this event a success. If you’re interested in being part of this programming competition, sign up here (https://forms.gle/Z9b7KcQa8LXHLa3d7), until October 13th. As perks, there will be goodies, lunch/dinner/snacks and the experience of being part of BAPC 2024. 🏅
