A(I) Happy New Year from us

Posted on by

🌍✨ Happy New Year, Earth Sciences and Physical Geography Alumni! ✨🌏

As we bid farewell to another orbit around the sun, let’s rock the geology of 2024 with enthusiasm and curiosity! 🌋🔍 May this year be filled with discoveries as exciting as finding hidden treasure in the world of physical geography! 🗺️💎

Let’s navigate through the tectonic shifts of life and celebrate the uplifting moments that make our journey worthwhile! 🌐🎉 Remember, just like the layers of the Earth, each day brings a new opportunity for growth and exploration. 🌅📚

Wishing you a year ahead filled with joy, success, and more depth than a deep rock core sample! 🤓🪨 May your experiments be successful, your fieldwork adventures thrilling, and your data as accurate as a perfectly drawn contour map! 🗺️🔬

Here’s to a year of reaching new heights (both topographical and personal), connecting with fellow alumni, and creating memories that are as enduring as the geological formations we study! 🏞️👥

Let’s make 2024 rock in every aspect! 🚀🎸 Happy New Year, Alumni of Earth Sciences and Physical Geography! 🌠🎊 #GeoCheers #NewYearNewDiscoveries

As the year comes to a close, the board of the alumni association Lulofs Alumni extends its warmest wishes for a joyous holiday season and a prosperous New Year.

May this festive season bring you moments of peace, joy, and reflection. As alumni, your contributions to the fields of geography, earth sciences and beyond are recognised and treasured, and we look forward to the continued success and growth of our community in the coming year.

Happy Holidays and best wishes for the New Year!

Welcome to the Lulofs website

Posted on by

Welcome to our updated website, with a fresh and new look for our webpage for the alumni association Lulofs – or alumnivereniging Lulofs – that accommodates a few much-needed improvements on membership registration and content-sharing for all our members.

During the first few months of 2021, we have migrated all content from the old website onto this new page together with updates, newsletters and other content for our members.

It’s now super easy to become a member after you graduate: just navigate to the Lulofs membership page to sign up for our newsletters and invitations for online webinars, symposia and other social events lined up for this year.

Current members can update their own contact details (i.e. graduation year, your study at the UvA or whether you are a former employee associated with the studies). This option can be found through the ‘Modify your subscription’ link attached at the bottom of all our newsletters, just check the latest one in your inbox.
