Alles, like all other names of preceding committees, carries a double meaning. The ‘ES’ at the end of the name calls to mind the ‘European Studies’ program, which they are to represent. We have also incorporated the legacy of taking into consideration both streams of this program - French and German.
Alles, meaning ‘all’ in German, brings forth their goal to unite all students under this program, be it year 1, 2 and 4 students currently in Hong Kong, year 3 students studying abroad or, furthermore, graduates. The name also connotates the German saying of ,,alles in allem.”, meaning all things considered. This committee will be giving its best to strive for the welfare of members of the society, organizing activities throughout the year to cater for the needs of the members.
Furthermore, the logo deliberately designs the ‘s’ in ‘Alles’ to look like a flipped ‘z’, referring to the word ‘Allez’ in French. Allez, meaning ‘go!’, does not only portray this team as one, but also brings a vibe of youthfulness and energy, perfectly defining this new committee.
Alles or Allez, the two are merged as one, as we celebrate the cohesion between our members from both the French and German stream.
Alles, giving you our all, and uniting all.
