Activities

During the summer the Overflow working group has been working on a plan to spend some of the money that was generated in Het Walhalla. During this information session we will go over the plan and explain our choices. But we also need your feedback to improve it and hear your opinions about what we have made. 

This year Thor will again organise the most amazing weekend of your study time! On the 19th, 20th, and 21st of September Thor will organise the first-year weekend full of fun activities. This is your chance to get to know all your fellow first-year students and the study association Thor! 

The weekend will start at our own local heaven, Het Walhalla, at 16:30 on Friday the 19th of September. That Friday you can drop off your baggage before 13:00 if you don't want to take it with you on the bike yourself. A packing list will follow later once you have subscribed.

Curious about life as a DevOps Engineer at ASML? What are the technical problems that running an organization off this scale is facing day in day out ?

Martyn van Dijke is a Developer and Operations (DevOps) Engineer in the Functional Cluster Developer Environment in the Information Technology sector at ASML. At this department we provide the actual software engineers with a virtual environment where they can make, build and test their code. As a DevOps Engineer it’s our responsibility to ever improve this environment and make sure its always operational!

Martyn, will share his personal story and give you a behind-the-scenes look at what it's really like. He’ll walk you through a real-life optimization problem: ensuring there’s enough storage to host all the code. Optimizing size, user impact and costs all into a single equation and then moving towards the best solution. Martyn van Dijke | LinkedIn studied Electrical Engineering at TU/e but transitioned into a more IT-focused role. Today, he’s responsible for providing ASML’s software developers with the virtual environments they need to do their work.

 Lunch and drinks will be provided during the lecture.

This activity accounts for one MyFuture point. 

We would like to inform you that if you do not show up without unsubscribing (or unsubscribe too late), you will be charged a fee of €5,-.  

As the switch GMM approaches, the kandis are eager to reach the Board table. Oude Bokken, of course, do not like that the kandis want to reach the Board table at least not when unprepared. This is why they will try their absolute best to stop the kandis from reaching the table before they are deemed prepared. The kandis must convince these protectors of the Board table that they are worthy enough to sit at the table. It will be a spectacle! We, the kandis hope that we will be prepared, and we hope that you join us on our journey! 

 

 Do you want to organize a super fun activity like a pub quiz, casino night, or the Open House Day? Are you a first-year interested in becoming active in Thor? Then you should come to the Ivaldi interest lunch! The Ivaldi committee is a first-year committee that organizes a wide variety of fun activities. It takes up very little time, so you can combine it with your studies  well. At the interest lunch you will learn more about the fun things you can do with this committee while you get free lunch! You can still show up even if you didn't subscribe. Subscribing helps us give an estimate of the amount of food we need to get. And subscribing to this lunch doesn't mean you are subscribed to Ivaldi :) 

 We know… normally you’ll find Thor members at our trusted Walhalla, the beating heart of Thor. 🍻 But this time, we’re shaking things up! 

On Tuesday October 8th, Thor is moving its borrel to Hubble Café. Almost the same gezelligheid, but the same great people – just a different bar. Expect a wide variety of beers, tasty food options, and good vibes (with a little extra campus flair). ✨ 

Join us as we trade Walhalla’s taps for Hubble’s for one evening. Don’t miss it – it’s not often we leave our home turf! ⚡️
