The Main Board of NTNUI wishes all our members a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! There are several “debates” during Christmas, and disagreements about what is the icing on the cake for the perfect Christmas mood. We have therefore asked our dear Main Board some questions to hear what they think, and to get to know them a little better!
Regardless of what you prefer to eat, drink, and watch during Christmas, we hope you have a great time and look forward to the next year with us.
