Profs@Turntables - Soda Pur
Once a year the professors and research assistants of the University of Passau exchange the lecture halls for Passau's nightclubs. At Profs@Turntables, a charity project organized every term by the student groups Leo-Club Dreiflüssestadt Passau and Rotaract Club Passau, the academic DJs delight the city's students with their favorite tunes.
At nights like this the students of Passau get to know their lecturers from a completely different angle - and obviously the professors have plenty of fun too. Thanks for the great atmosphere! Here's a photo gallery with some impressions of the nights.
