To celebrate the successful term, to thank for the good cooperation and to welcome parts of the new council, the VS council organized a semester closing event for all new members and initiatives on 20.07.2022. In the courtyard of the HdM, everyone had the opportunity to exchange ideas outside of the council meetings and enjoy pizza and soft drinks in a cozy atmosphere. Despite rain showers, the event was a success and resulted in a karaoke party with surprise guests.

With the party was also our “new” mascot Gustav. This presented itself proudly to the former and new council members and said goodbye to his old feather dress.
