Welcome to start of studies at NTNU
Før immatrikuleringen og offisiell studiestart inviterer Ada_ prosjektet til velkomstdag for alle nye kvinnelige og ikke-binære studenter ved teknologiutdanningene på IE-fakultetet.
Denne dagen gir deg muligheten til å bli kjent med medstudenter fra både samme og andre studieprogram. Her får du blant annet høre om aktivitetene i Ada_, tips til første semester, møte linjeforeningene og en sniktitt på campus. Mange har møtt sine nærmeste studievenner nettopp denne dagen!
Velkomstdagen er et frivillig og sosialt tilbud. Du går ikke glipp av noe faglig dersom du ikke har anledning til å delta.
