Ada-prosjektet inviterer til velkomstdag søndagen før immatrikulering og offisiell studiestart. Dette er et tilbud til alle nye studenter ved studieprogram med lav kvinneandel på IE-fakultetet.
Her får du møte andre studenter på tvers av studieprogram innen informasjonsteknologi og elektroteknikk. Du får også bygge nettverk før studiestart.
Du får en introduksjon til tilbudene ved fakultetet og en snikktitt på campus før det braker løs for alvor. Vi avslutter dagen med felles middag.
Dette er et frivillig tilbud og en unik mulighet til å bli kjent med andre medstudenter. Mange av våre tidligere studenter møtte sine beste venner for første gang denne dagen.
