Cover is the study association for Artificial Intelligence and Computing Science offering three types of activities:

  • Social

    We organise weekly borrels, monthly socials and tons of other activities. If you are interested in these topics and also want to have a genuinely good time, drop by the Cover room in the Bernoulliborg on Zernike campus (0041a), because that's where we live. We are open on weekdays from 11:00 to 17:00.

  • Study

    We organise study support lectures about our degree programs. You can join workshops that either dig deeper into materials, or offer some fresh knowledge. You can also find help using our tutoring system!

  • Career

    We also offer career oriented events. Regularly, we have companies over to hold talks about certain career paths. You will find this interesting if you want to talk to students who finished their studies and now work at companies or if you are interested in what companies are up to in general.

The Gates of Io Vivat Open

By: Dispuut Io Vivat on November 29, 2024 14:21

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.
