Earlier this year THS decided to limit our access to the garbage room. At the same time they also introduced a cleaning schedule for the garbage station behind META, where we usually throw away glass. Now it is our turn to keep it clean week 8 (17th-23rd). This doesn't mean we have to keep it squeaky clean but it is our responsiblity to keep the garbage inside of the garbage station and not outside of it. 😊

Hi everyone!

Each year, the Computer Science Chapter sends out a survey to collect thoughts, feedback, opinions and suggestions from Chapter members regarding the CS Chapter and its organisation. The purpose of the survey is to help us increase our understanding of how our members experience Chapter life and which areas may need to be improved upon.

Since we are interested in all perspectives, we highly encourage you to take the survey even if you feel that you don't have anything specific you want to say!

The survey is anonymous and we estimate that it will take 5-15 minutes to complete, depending on what and how you choose to answer.

Thank you for taking the time to help us improve the Chapter! Love, JMLA, SMA and d-SOL

Happy new year!

In accordance with §4.4 Brådskande ärenden, I exercise the powers of the D-rektoratet to issue a D-rektiv in accordance with §4.9 D-rektiv regarding the life and livelihood of the chapter members.

The D-directive is as follows:

“Do not let your old goals limit your future opportunities.”

Over the past year, the chapter has undergone significant organizational changes. Among other things, we have switched banks and laid the groundwork for a new accounting system, introduced a new organizational structure, and moved to a new communications channel for the chapter. Another important step forward is that we have made it possible to save funds for the future members of the chapter, ensuring that coming generations enjoy the best conditions.

I would like to encourage you to make the most of your time at KTH and get involved in the chapter. Dare to explore new paths and fill your “backpack” with fresh experiences and insights that you will carry with you long after your studies.

I would also like to thank everyone who has been involved in the chapter during 2024. Whether you have been functionaries, project leaders, helped out in committees, or simply shown up at events and shared your enthusiasm—your engagement, large or small, is what helps our chapter grow and remain a place for personal development. Thank you for making Datasektionen what it is!

Finally, I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year, and likewise extend those wishes to the chapter for a bright and shining year ahead—I believe this year will be a great one. So make the most of your days, filling them with both necessities and fun, and remember:

The chapter is us, and we are the chapter.

**See you in Storvik – Adam Sjöberg, Chairman 2024 **
