Study association Commotie and introduction activities

Dear 1^st year CIS students,

First of all we, the board of study association Commotie, would like to welcome you to the amazing CIS programme and we hope you’ll meet great people and learn a lot during your academic journey!

To help you with this, we have organised an amazing introduction week with all kinds of activities (1st - 4th of September).

We will start off the week with a Pub quiz straight after the Introduction day of CIS where all first year CIS students are welcome and where you can test your knowledge while having snacks and drinks. You can sign up for this through the first year questionnaire sent by Marloes Bergmans, the study advisor.

Next, we’ll organise a study related activity which will help you to get to know each other better in a  study related setting and it will give you a head start for the upcoming semester. This activity is also open for all first year CIS students!

From Tuesday 2^nd September onwards, the activities will be just for Commotie members, so if you want to join these as well, you can become a member for only €16 a year via our website (https://www.svcommotie.nl/become-a-member/personalia).

The first activity just for members will be a boat tour around the city, where you will be able to see the city from a different perspective while chatting with your fellow students. On Wednesday September 3^rd, there will be a game night in the beautiful Noorderplantsoen (a park in Groningen). On Thursday September 4^th, we’ll end the Introduction week with a freshmen dinner, where you can enjoy a great meal with your fellow students and maybe even your new made friends! So, if you don’t want to miss out become a Commotie member and sign up for the activities on our website!

All information you need is visible below, on our website and on our Instagram soon as well, but if something isn’t clear don’t hesitate to reach out to us on board svcommotie.nl, on WhatsApp or via Instagram!
