Chilly Debut in Leipzig: Supporting a Worthy Cause
Licking Excellence: University of Leipzig's innovative collaboration brings you the "Summa cum laude" ice cream
Step aside, tradition, there's a new "Summa cum laude" in town - but this one is served in a cone, not on a diploma. The University of Leipzig teams up with local ice cream maker San Remo to dish out an unforgettable treat.
Part educational initiative, part dessert indulgence, the "Summa cum laude" ice cream is an extraordinary mixture of Greek yogurt, raspberry sauce, and gooey chocolate. But it's not just a spot-on flavor combination; every scoop supports the Green School in Leipzig's Botanical Garden. For every scoop you savor, half a euro goes towards the school's educational projects. Rector Eva Inés Obergfell cheers, "With each scoop sold, from June onwards, the future blooms a little more!"
Leipzig's unique ice cream isn't the university's first foray into collaborative efforts. In the past, San Remo has worked with the city, including the Leipzig Opera. Now, you can find the "Summa cum laude" ice cream in all four San Remo stores across Leipzig, and at select university events, like the University Ball on July 4th or the Summer Festival on August 21st. The Long Night of Sciences also promises special promotions and discounts until October 31, 2025.
Try it before then, and not only will you satisfy your sweet tooth, but you'll help shape Leipzig's educational future. Enjoy a sweet blend of science, pleasure, and commitment - a true academic enterprise worth savoring!
Now, you might be wondering, what's the connection between "Summa cum laude" and academics? Originally a Latin phrase signifying exceptional academic achievement, a "Summa cum laude" ice cream could be an original creation by a local business, inspired by intellectual accomplishments. Or, it could be a creative project from the Green School in Leipzig's Botanical Garden, representing academic excellence in an unexpected way. The answer remains to be licked!
The "Summa cum laude" ice cream, a delectable fusion of Greek yogurt, raspberry sauce, and chocolate, serves as a testament to the university's education-and-self-development initiatives, as every scoop supports the Green School in Leipzig's Botanical Garden. Your food-and-drink choices can contribute to shaping Leipzig's lifestyle, making it a unique opportunity for lifestyle enhancement beyond mere pleasure.
