Hellooo,

We are this year’s Crossingborders committee!!! We have the privilege of organizing the number 1 best and most fun activity of the year, THE CROSSING BORDERS TRIP :) We will be going on a road trip along with our famous bus driver Ton to many beautiful unique bedazzling locations. It is 10 days full of fun activities, spending time with your friends (possible new friends), crazy moments and you will make memories that last a lifetime!! The trip will be from the 10th till the 20th of April and it will be a unique experience you definitely do not want to miss. Now we will introduce you to our lovely committee members!

Evy (better known as eVO) is our chair, and she makes sure that the committee is actually productive, which can be a challenge because none of us really know how or when to shut up, which can then really stress Evy out (sorry Evy). She is also the creative brain behind the committee, which you can see by our beautifully designed committee clothing!

Then our wonderful Ciarán has taken on the role of secretary!! We don’t know how he does it, but somehow he keeps up with what everyone is yapping about and he likes to misspell words so none of us really know what the word in the minutes really is (does he even know himself?). But honestly, we’re grateful for Ciarán’s patience and his irish alcohol tolerance (entertains us all). 

Our one and only treasurer is Erik! You have probably seen Erik around, since his social battery truly never dies. He makes it his priority to make sure we are all at just as many events as him (impossible) and he always knows how to lighten the mood! Though he has endless ideas, we have no idea if the budget has received any attention this year, but luckily he is willing to sponsor the trip this year if we make a loss! (thank you Erik for this great sacrifice). 

Charlotte is our commissioner of promotion, meaning she is in charge of writing the promotion pieces and making the posters with super obvious and easy to guess hints to the theme and locations! She has never been on time a day in her life, which is also why the promotion was dropped ridiculously late this year. But all good things take time! Hopefully she won’t get left behind on the trip this year because that would be a shame (shoutout to Arne&Piet our former crossing borders committee members). 

Ylse has one of the most indispensable tasks as our Ton contact person. Though you wouldn’t expect it, this is an extremely challenging task as Ton takes 5 to 80 business days to respond to calls or messages. Whether he just doesn’t like Ylse, we still don’t know, but luckily we like her! She is also our little chameleon as she takes over everyone’s tasks whenever they don’t have time :) (because why work on uni when you can work on bc stuff). 

Then we have Lieke, our commissioner of visuals. Lieke is one of our two sjaarzen in the committee, which you cannot really tell because she has fit in like a glove from day one! Her job is to create an aftermovie of the trip to capture all the best moments and everyone’s questionable choices on the trip for all eternity, including probably her own ;). We have full confidence the aftermovie is gonna be better than Elisa's (she made a good effort though).

Our commissioner of bonding is the lovely Lieve, our other sjaars. She is making sure that we will win the Battle of the Committees this year (undebatable), by making us do all kinds of weird things like staying in a church in Zeeland (it was an airbnb and secretly really fun) and dressing up as fireboy&watergirl and tom&jerry to go bowling. She is also super talented, so if you are curious then you should really join the trip this year and maybe you’ll get a personal singing performance. 

Lastly, our lovely board member Ole. Ole is always full of energy and is constantly laughing (at his own jokes mostly) which adds a really positive vibe to the committee. This is also mostly what he contributes to the committee as todo points are not really his thing. Oh and he does love to remind us of how we all ‘have to listen to him’ because he does board (no one takes him seriously and he hasn’t found the word in the minutes a single time). However, without his iconic and somewhat disturbing quotes our committee would not be the same :). 

We hope to see all of you during the Crossing Borders trip of 2025!!

Xx Crossing Borders committee 2025!
