Computer Science Summer Party –
Sommerfest der Informatik
Each year, towards the end of the summer term, the Computer Science Department organises
a summer party for the ceremonial presentation of diploma certificates to the graduates of the
past six or so months. Once again, the events took place at Computer Science Centre (and its
adjoining parking lot). Each event started with an introductory talk that was followed by a
more humorous ceremonial talk. The official part ended with the presentation of the diploma
certificates; over 50 students received their certificates at each summer party.
Said official ceremony was followed by the – less formal – party proper. A small(ish) buffet
and plenty of drinks were on offer. The typical crowd of about 500 people attended the
events, including the graduates and their families, current students, most of the staff of the
computer science department, and several guests from other departments.
