#RWTHWelcomeWeek – On Board: The IT Center!
New semester, new students! Also this year, the International Office of RWTH Aachen University organized events to welcome the new international students. To prepare them for student life and procedures at RWTH Aachen University, there were many lectures and a variety of supporting programs. The IT Center was also there: we provided information about basic IT services and explained how to use them.
The IT Center at the RWTH Welcome Week
Within the Welcome Week for the summer semester 2022, our employee Linda Jörres had the pleasure to give a lecture entitled “Making use of IT Services”. About 130 participants dialed into the video conference on the morning of March 30, 2022 to learn more about IT services and how to use them.
The very next day, the next item on the agenda for the IT Center was scheduled: Participating in the Freshers’ Fair! This is the information market where students could inform themselves about the different institutions and facilities at RWTH Aachen University, this time even in presence in front of the SuperC. For the IT Center, our employees Dunja Gath and Linda Jörres were on site to answer questions.
Despite the rainy and cold weather, the mood among the new international students was excellent! Many happy faces were welcomed.
We were very happy to be part of the Welcome Week again and would like to take this opportunity to thank the organizing team!
