Organisers had feared that the rain would reduce the turnout. But there were more card-holding University of Copenhagen students and staff at the festival than the organisers had projected and hoped for.<\/p>\n

The event, the first and biggest of its kind in the history of the University of Copenhagen, was organized by the Student Council (Studenter\u00e5det) and the Studenterhuset, with the goal of uniting people from across the different campuses and faculties. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe were aiming for between 8,000 and 10,000 guests at the event, but due to the rather unpleasant weather forecasts, we scaled down on the number. But it turned out that over 11,000 guests went through our gates!\u201d says Michael Pallisgaard from Student Council.<\/p>\n

Unexpected turnout<\/h2>\n

The festival had an extensive program. Everything from a football final between History and Political Science to Danish rap group, \u00d8stkyst Hustlers, a science slam and a Spring Cabaret. <\/p>\n

Everything from the football<\/a> – commentator was Prorector and avid football fan Lykke Friis – to the science slam went smoothly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was surprised by the turnout. We had a strong program, but with the weather against us we were pessimistic beforehand. Our doubts were put to shame!\u201d says Michael Pallisgaard.<\/p>\n

The guests were the highlight<\/h2>\n

\u201cFor me personally, one of the biggest highlights was to see the guests interacting with each other. There was a true festival feeling and I saw nothing but smiles and happy faces, and I would like to thank everyone who participated for making this a night to remember,\u201d says Michael Pallisgaard.<\/p>\n

He points to the performance by \u00d8stkyst Hustlers as another highlight:<\/p>\n

\u201cThey really set the stage on fire and really seemed to be enjoying themselves.\u201d <\/p>\n

Not the last time<\/h2>\n

The organizers hope that this year\u2019s Spring Festival will be the beginning of a new tradition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Spring Festival was a success. There has never been an event on this scale in the history of the University of Copenhagen, and with the great support from both employees and students, I think we have created the foundation for a tradition which will last for generations,\u201d says Michael Pallisgaard.<\/p>\n
