Semester Start-Up 2009!

Contact Table during Freshmen Orientation

At the beginning of the fall semester all official college student organizations are invited to introduce themselves to the 2300 freshmen. We got to talk to several new students and handed out 1000 Flyers to invite them to our events.

“Three Keys to Great Success” with Dr. Harold Finch

Dr. Finch is a scientist, author, and lecturer and trains people all across the world in how to be successful. We had the honor to have him give a seminar about “Three Keys to Great Success” at the university. 70 students attend the seminar.

“Al Capone” Semester Start-Up Party

The motto of our semester start-up party was “Al Capone”. Several students came in the typical style of the 20s.

Upcoming Trip to Seville, Spain

We will have a team of nine from Braunschweig (Steffi, Angie, Anja, David, Damaris, Birthe, Eva, Vincent and Inga). We will be trying to meet students on campus through handing out flyers and inviting them to our different events.

Hawaiian Luau Party

Sofa "Chill" day on Campus

Brainstorming, we wanted to be on campus all day, personally

invite students to the end of the semester party, give away free Coffee and Cookies during stressful exams, and change-up the atmosphere on campus.

We created a Sofa Day!

Some PR for our next Sofa Day!!
