CEMUS ROOTS - CEMUS RÖTTER

If you could not attend yesterday’s drop-in registration, you can now register digitally through the university’s Student portal (www.studentportalen.uu.se). The registration is open for a limited time only. You need to be accepted to the course to be able to register.

If you haven’t applied, but would like to study at Cemus during the fall semester, you can make a late application through www.studera.nu. Please contact our administration as well (utbildning@csduppsala.uu.se), or the course coordinators directly, to get information about the course schedule. Don’t wait for the application to go through the system. It takes a few days and you don’t want to miss interesting and important lectures and seminars.

Hi everyone, I hope all of you are well and excited about a new semester. We need to set a date and time for the bigger Roots meeting where we formally elect representatives and welcome new students to the organization. January 26 and January 31 (both at 19:30) are the two best times from a "new student" perspective. What do you prefer? Send me a message: Sara.andersson[a]csduppsala.uu.se

The Student Radio wants to start a radio programme with help from Cemus. The program would air once a week and be 1 hour. The program will not focus on tips for living a sustainable life, but rather be a bit more "angry" and ask some of the bigger and more unfomfortable questions about sustainability (with lots of humor). Interested? Email me before lunch on tuesday, december 14th. sara.andersson[a]csduppsala.uu.se
