ChemCup 2024
2024/07/30
Best result ever for team physical chemistry at the annual soccer tournament!
The annual ChemCup football tournament took place at the university stadium, bringing together 10 teams from the Chemistry Department on a scorching hot day. Thankfully, the pool was open for everyone to cool off. Each team was required to have either a professor or a female player. Our team, Physical Chemistry, performed admirably, winning 4 out of 5 matches and securing 5th place overall. A big thank you to the Chemistry Student Council for organizing this fantastic event!
