Campus tours of the student representatives (FSI)
The student council representatives of the study programmes tried to offer campus tours on the southern campus in small groups in order to give the new students an opportunity to get to know the Faculty of Engineering and some fellow students
Unfortunately, mid of October the Corona infection rate accelerated extremely and no reduction of new infections is expected in the near future. It would therefore be irresponsible to continue to offer the campus tours in attendance form. But nevertheless, the new students at TechFak should be offered the opportunity to get to know each other a little and to make first contacts with fellow students, even if only virtually. The times and groups for the campus tours will therefore remain the same as announced, but the format will be changed to an online format. The links will be published in StudOn as soon as possible. The responsible persons hope that in the near future, face-to-face events will be possible again and that the get-to-know-each-other meetings can then be made up for.
The groups will take place in the evenings from 20 to 29 October 2020:
