Once again this year, employees didn&#8217;t miss the opportunity to celebrate the fifth season together.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\">Gathering and Polonaise<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Fat Thursday started at 10:15am with the gathering of the IT Center&#8217;s revelers at Seffenterweg 23. This year&#8217;s motto: Colorful fruit salad \u2013 whether strawberry, lemon, banana, or pineapple, it&#8217;s going to be fruity! Colorful costumes, good spirits, and lots of anticipation filled the rooms. This was followed by the traditional polonaise, which wound its way through the building. The cheerful snake of celebrating people, which once again demonstrated how wonderful solidarity and community spirit can be, ended with the custom of cutting off ties on the management level of the IT Center. A carnival ritual that provided fun and smiles for everyone involved. Afterwards, the employees made their way together to C.A.R.L., where all RWTH members celebrated &#8220;C.A.R.nevaL.&#8221; with us.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23748\" style=\"width: 227px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23748\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-23748\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2026\/02\/image00002-217x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2026\/02\/image00002-217x300.jpeg 217w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2026\/02\/image00002-742x1024.jpeg 742w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2026\/02\/image00002-768x1060.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2026\/02\/image00002-1113x1536.jpeg 1113w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc\/files\/2026\/02\/image00002.jpeg 1206w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 217px) 100vw, 217px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23748\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Own Illustration<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\">The Program<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Admission began at 11am with music that immediately put everyone in a good mood.
