Hi everyone!
Some of you may already know me from our previous mail contact. My name is Lea, I am 22 years old and the student assistant of the UROP team.
I study social science and in my freetime I love doing outdoor activities such as walking my dog.
I used to live abroad myself for a year in America, as well so I know how exciting it is for you to come to Germany. I am very much looking forward on spending time with you in Aachen and make great memories :)

Hello to all UROP International students! My name is Ulrike (first German challenge).

It is my first year at RWTH Aachen and I am excited about all events that await us during an awesome and unforgettable summer. Since I live in Aachen, I immerse in the nature jewels that surround us whenever I can and use the unique geographical position to cross the borders to the Netherlands and Belgium. I am happy to support and accompany you on your research journey together with our team.

Wir freuen uns auf euch!

Hey guys, my name is Felix! I am 22 y. o., finishing my MechE bachelors in May. I've been in touch with UROP since 2019, so I am very much looking forward to seeing all of you in-person!
In 2020, I spent one semester abroad at WashU in St. Louis, Missouri. Travelling as well as activities with friends are my favourite things to do; so I am excited about planning and executing this year's UROP activities together with Lea! :D

The Haus der Geschichte Foundation started establishing a collection in 1986. It features suitable objects that would physically document contemporary history and could act as exhibits: everyday items, documents, films and other media, magazines, machines, furniture, textiles, and much more besides. Today, the collection features almost 1 million items, and alongside the physical objects, increasingly digital items are being added to the collection. At least three criteria determine whether an object, document or medium is incorporated into the collection: Is the object typical of its day (e.g., a Free German Youth blouse) or absolutely unique (e.g., the " Schabowski Notes ")? Or does it, thirdly, come with a special history? Whatever the case, the item must above all be exciting and in itself or together with others tell a story. The duffle bag that Elvis Presley had with him in 1958 when he started serving as a GI in West Germany attests to the importance of the US entertainment industry in Germany and alludes to the Cold War. And for Elvis fans it has a special emotional significance, too!
