EACH ‘26, Fox edition

The EACH 2026 students recently celebrated being new members of the EACH program with the classic “Fox party”. Read more about what Angel Tomas Ureña Valerio has to say about the event:

“Who would’ve thought that foxes had so much in common with chemists? Probably nobody, since they actually don’t; but that was precisely the thought of me and my classmates when getting the invitation to the “EACH 2026 Fox Party”. 

After two of the most loaded weeks yet in the semester, our brains were not really expecting riddles and challenges as a way of decompressing. Strangely enough, though, Maris, Gloriana, Bojidar, Intasar, Helena, and other alumni planned every activity so that our analytical chemistry skills could become evident in the silliest ways possible, making all the stress go away. Between assembling a sparkly galvanic cell, publicly showing off our Estonian dance abilities, and using our taste buds as analytical instruments, I’m pretty sure the real competition was on who laughed the loudest during the evening.

Following our display of appreciation to Ivo and pledging allegiance to our program, we got to showcase to the city our childhood dream of dressing up as mad scientists — and precisely on Halloween weekend — as we made our way to the great finale: sauna (and food, of course). A handful of conversations, prizes, and dips in the river later, it’s safe to say we all felt as refreshed as we could ever have after a night out. 

Such an experience is one I would certainly recommend you don’t skip whenever it’s your turn to be an EACH fox at the University of Tartu. And who knows, maybe you can also meet Meach (our self-proclaimed EACH cat mascot) someday.”
