Orientation week & freshers' trip
Dear freshers,
After our orientation week together, we certainly don’t want the fun and getting to know each other to end straight away, which is why we’re planning a freshers’ trip with you. More details will follow later here, on Instagram and during our orientation week.
We’re sooooo looking forward to it!
