It all started with a study trip and a coincidence of circumstances.

In 2013 Leanne Jansen looked back in Wau(the magazine of Laverna) on the origins of Sophia Aeterna:

‘It all started with a study trip and a coincidence of circumstances. The year before, Rosanne Boermans and I had conceived a plan to organise a trip for Classics students, but we realised that this was very difficult outside of a student association. It happened that Tes Mijnders, Guus van Loon and Bas Clercx had already thought up some ideas on starting a student association, but they had never actually done it. I’m proud to say that to join forces has been one of the best decisions ever taken within the Classics department!

This new student association was founded on 21 March 2012. A name had already been chosen with the help of a poll on Facebook and it didn’t take long before the familiar logo made its entrance. At first, the new student association focused mainly on events that already existed, like the annual barbecue, the Christmas get together, the Open Stage Night and the theatre performances. New activities followed soon with the trip to Trier in the summer of 2012 – which had been the reason to found Sophia Aeterna in the first place – as the first highlight.

By now, Sophia Aeterna consists of almost fifteen committees and has an activity planned almost every week.
