THE LAST SALE OF THE FALL
It is with a heavy heart that Prylis announces the last sale of the semester, tomorrow at lunch!. It's sad to think that the fun is already over (because it will be my last sale as Prylis).
Lost and Found will be emptied the 29th of december
The title pretty much speaks for itself. The Lost and Found next to the stairs to the catwalk in META will be emptied shortly. Please make sure you have no belongings in there.
Exam lodge with the Study Board
Hi chapter!
Another study period is nearing its end, and once again, the computer science students face their eternal nemesis—math exams.
But fear not! The Study Board is here to help you prepare and give you the best possible chance to succeed in your exams!
We will be organizing two exam workshops in E35 from 14:00 to 18:00 on December 16th and December 19th. These workshops will simulate the actual exam environment, and we’ve even created custom exams for Basic Mathematics, Discrete Mathematics, and Linear Algebra that you won’t find anywhere else!
More information can be found, and you can sign up here: https://dsekt.se/tentastugap1
Of course, you’re also welcome to join without signing up, but we’ll be basing the refreshments on the number of sign-ups. See you there!
PS: Obviously, we're going to provide free fika!
D24 Year-patch!!!
the design is MeowMeow by Natalia Winiarska the text will say: Meow Meow Meow Meoooooow
Thank you dinner for course and student representatives
Hi dear chapter!
Participating in educational quality assurance has long been a thankless job. Therefore, the student chapter has decided to organize a thank-you dinner for all the heroes working to improve our education!
We will host a Christmas buffet at Kröken(Nymble) this Sunday (8/12) for those who have previously served as student representatives on course committees or in other contexts.
Our apologies for the late announcement, but we sincerely hope you will be able to come and let us show our appreciation anyway!
You can sign up here: https://dsekt.se/bevakningsmiddag
Warm regards, The Study Board

Winter is approaching, which of course also means that spring is closer than ever (since last spring, at least). And spring brings one of the Computer Science Chapter’s finest traditions – Vårbalen, the Spring Ball! 🤩
But the Spring Ball doesn’t organize itself, so I need reinforcements! That’s why I want you to apply to join the Spring Ball Army at https://dsekt.se/sokvarbalen! There’s info in the form about what exactly the Spring Ball Army does, but if you have any questions or anything else on your mind, just reach out to me! 🌷
