Happy Hour (and Shuffle Board) with DION!

Date: 27th September (Friday)

Time: 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm

Venue: Work-Work, Munkegata

Your favorite event is back! Did you just start the semester and are feeling overwhelmed by all the research you have to do the following months? Don’t worry, you can definitely procrastinate some more.

And what better way to do that by joining fellow researchers for some good-natured competitive shuffle board! Or if you are not that into shuffleboard, Work-Work has a great collection of board games that you can indulge in.

The Board is booked from 18:30 to 19:30, and the pub tables will be ours from 18:00 to 20:30, and it has all been payed for by DION.

After the event, some of us will head to Rockheim, for the Young Researcher’s Night, where there will be talks and conversations mixed with performances and music, and the bar will be open all night. (For more details, check out their event)

So come join us! Make new friends, catch up with old ones, participate in some fun banter and games! Everyone is welcome to stop by and enjoy!

Do you feel your life is a little bit sadder and gloomier without music? Do you have a song in your heart that you cannot sing alone? Do you think that choral singing is one of the best ways to express the beauty of harmonies?
DION’s Choir is what you are looking for! We will have two days of open rehearsals: Monday 2nd (from 17 to 19) and Tuesday 3rd (from 17 to 19) September in Tegnesal 320_321, Sentralbygg 1, Gløshaugen.
Send an email to the choir conductor Mattia Veroni (mattia.veroni@ntnu.no) to sign up. If no options suit you at all, he will do his best to arrange a later meeting.

You don’t need to be a great, trained singer to join our choir (no prior experience required): we look for committed singers with a good intonation, in order to build a vibrant, cozy environment for beautiful harmonies to bloom.
And you, holed up instrumentalists! Do you play piano, guitar o percussions and want to help us? We are looking for a few musicians, so join our open rehearsals!

Stay tuneful 😀

Happy Hour – Semester Kick Off

Date: 26th August (Monday)

Time: 6pm – 9pm

Venue: Work-Work

 

Welcome back everyone!

Summer is slowly fading out: temperatures are dropping every so slightly, your tan line (if you had the luxury to acquire one) is vanishing and all you have left from your vacation are the 9000 pictures of sun sets you took by the beach. Maybe you have never left the campus and enjoyed the silence in the office/ lab, getting a heart attack whenever you heard footsteps in the hallway (probably another equally scared PhD candidate, working on their research). However you spent your summer – DION invites you to kick-start this   new semester with our classic Happy Hours Shuffle Board event at Work Work.
Show off your pictures, share your vacation stories and get to know old and new fellow PhD and post.docs a bit more.
We reserved two  (!) Shuffle Boards from 18.30 – and the first hour is, as it is custom by now, sponsored by DION.
Work work also provides other board games and a good atmosphere to mingle and chat, if you are not so much of a gaming type.
So all you need to do is to join us!
