Highlights from Student Support January Events
At LUNEX, our Student Support team is committed to creating an enriching environment where students can grow, connect, and explore new opportunities. In January 2025, two events allowed students to bond and challenge themselves.
Adventure Day: Bouldering at BlocX
As part of our monthly Adventure Day, 45 students came together for an exciting bouldering session at BlocX. This event allowed students to challenge themselves physically and mentally, all while having fun in a supportive group setting. Adventure Days at LUNEX offer a variety of experiences, from exploring historical sites like the Dudelange Castle to enjoying holiday events such as the Christmas market. These activities help students connect outside the classroom, build camaraderie, and discover Luxembourg’s unique culture.
Networking Thursday: Thibaut Van Den Heuvel
Network Thursdays provide students with a platform to promote their businesses within the LUNEX community and advance their careers. For this month’s Networking Thursday, Sport & Exercise Science student Thibaut Van Den Heuvel shared the story behind his book Through Mountains and Valley, which details his incredible cycling journey from Luxembourg to the south of France. All proceeds from the sale of his book go to Kinderkankerfonds vzw, a charity supporting children with cancer, making the event even more impactful.
Look Ahead: February’s Networking Thursday
The next Networking Thursday, February 13, 2025, will feature a presentation by Soliter Melonde, a nonprofit organization focused on empowering communities and driving meaningful change. With teams operating in Africa and Europe, Soliter Melonde’s work offers students insight into how social initiatives can create lasting positive impact.
These events are just a few examples of how the Student Support team works to provide our students with opportunities for personal and professional growth. These events help students build lasting connections and explore new interests that enrich their academic experience.
