The final winner will be announced during the last month of the Lustrum Year.

In May, the first Festive Week of the University will take place. In this week, we will make our Radboud Gestures and there will be several festive activities as well. There will be a festival on campus, called Radboud XL. For elementary schools, Radboud Kids will be organised. Keep updated on this festive week on this website!
September: Faculty party
A big party will be organised on Thursday the 21st of September 2023. During this party, you will be completely immersed in the '20s. Make sure that your most beautiful outfit is ready for this and that you, your fellow students, and/or colleagues save the date!

In the second festive week, the 100th Dies Natalis will be organised. Also, several honorary doctorates will be given out.

Lustrum Pub Quiz and Student Party were a great success!
Other festivities
Timeline in the Erasmus Building of the FdL and FFTR
In collaboration with the Faculty of Philosophy, Theology, and Religious Studies, the Erasmus Building will feature a timeline in which photos and stories are shown concerning the history of both faculties. This timeline will make your journey through the Erasmus Building from March 2023 even more fun than before.
Awesome Academics
To mark the anniversary of the faculty, a fun board game will be created. Through this game, students and staff can get a sneak peak into research. Became curious about this? Keep an eye on the site for more information on how to get the game!
Historical photo book
To properly record the past 100 years of the Faculty of Arts, a historical photo book will be created. This photo book is based on the timeline you will encounter during your journey through the Erasmus Building. If you want to immortalise this timeline and the history of our faculty, you can get the photo book and show it to others.
