Start of the academic year!

The Academic Year Has Begun! 📚

Excitement is in the air as we kick off another incredible academic year at Codon! These past weeks have been nothing short of fantastic, with a whirlwind of activities and warm welcomes to our new bachelor and master students during the AID.

🎉 AID Study Day: We set the tone with a day brimming with engaging activities, laughter, and memorable conversations. It was the perfect opportunity to forge new connections. As the day drew to a close, we savored a delightful barbecue followed by an unforgettable evening of fun at the Bunker.

🎈 Loads of Activities: At Codon, we never rest! We’ve already enjoyed a series of thrilling events, including Axie’s exciting kick-off, an adrenaline-pumping lacrosse workshop by the Sportcie, and a festive Dies week that marked Codon’s 32 years of excellence. Hip hip hooray!

🥳 AUG Start Party: Brace yourselves because next week, we’re unleashing the infamous AUG Start Party! It’s going to be epic, and we can’t wait to see you there. Get ready for a night that promises unforgettable memories.

Stay tuned for more thrilling updates and upcoming events throughout the academic year. 📖✨
