Editor’s letter

Congratulations everyone! We have all powered through yet another school year, and what a year it has been. Our first year students are slowly beginning to learn the best ways to approach the study-work-life balance, however difficult that might be. In true IBP spirit, we want to do it all, but sadly, that is not always possible. There are always going to be priorities. Which is why I am so glad to see that our beloved IBP events continue to make the list! While traditions such as our famous season dinners, annual ski-trip, and IBP/IB football tournament are being upheld, I for one, am thrilled to see the Union also striving to create new ones. I do not think I am alone when I say that it feels like this semester just flew right by. But we did get to do some pretty amazing stuff here at IBP in the meantime!

Here in Communications, we have all been working very hard to bring you this semester’s edition of the IBP Magazine. With this being my first magazine as editor-in-chief, I am incredibly proud of what we have put out there, and I sincerely hope you will find it to be as insightful, fun, and thought-provoking as I did. For this issue, we have interviewed our very own Jojo Veit and got to hear about her amazing work for gender equality and her trip to the UN. Professor Katja Mann has been kind enough to take the time to cover this semester’s Professor’s Page and share her true opinions on teaching IBP students. Furthermore, if you are looking for just the right movie to put on your summer movienight watch list, or missing the ideal beach-read, do not worry, we got you covered! However, if you still haven’t quite figured outwhat to do with your summer break, you can get inspired by your fellow IBP’ers and hear about their exciting summer plans.

And, if you are like me, and slowly beginning to realize that AI might actually be something we will have to get used to sooner rather than later, I recommend you go read our IBP’ers guide to ChatGPT and learn how to use it to your advantage! Needless to say, we got a little something for everyone in this issue of the IBP Magazine.

Lastly, with exam season coming to an end, we can finally embrace the sweet summer air and look ahead to a long summer, hopefully full of new adventures. But first, we must applaud our third year bachelors and second year master students on finishing their theses - what an achievement! We cannot wait to see what you will do next.

Wishing you all a fantastic summer full of fun, love, and joy. See you all back on campus next semester!

Best,

Eline Kiirdal Ludvigsen Head of Communications
