Student Corporation Ericius (in Latin language Hedgehog) unites students, lecturers and graduates. The Corporation organizes professional lectures, construction site visits and different common events with the aim to bring together students and graduates for exchanging knowledge and experience.
Ericius, was created on March 26, 2006. For those who do not yet know - the "Hedgehog" became name to the corporation because the hedgehog is active, like an engineer. In the center of the Ericius`flag, the circle motif of dynamic image is hedgehog-inspired. This refers to mobility and strength. The purple flag is traditionally in heraldic the colour of realities and technology.
Today the corporation has nearly 150 members. Ericius have registered as a non-profit organization and is managed by a 5-member executive and a two-member management board. Despite short history, the members of corporation have already developed a number of traditions, of which the most notable is undoubtedly the February 24th flagging ceremony in Toompea (Estonian Independent Day), in which they participate equally alongside other societies and corporations. Ericius's values are also academicism, brotherhood, engineering, organization.
Their motto is: Doing the Right Things is More Important than Doing Things Right!
