Storm

Hiiiii everyone, this year it is our turn to organize one of the most vital Storm events; the Introweek! 

This week is meant for you as new students to get to know your fellow new students and get to know Storm. It will take place from September 7th until the 13th 2026. In order for this to be the best first week of uni ever we have accumulated workshops, activities and non educative outings. 

Monday through Thursday you will be shown around campus. We will help you get to know the way around and where your classes take place. You will also know where the best place is to eat your lunch, what is the nicest hangout, and show you our base: the Storm room. A room at university where you will always be welcome to come hang out and drink a cup of coffee or tea, chill, play Mario kart or have mental breakdowns and so on. You will have your first lectures, meet exciting Alumni and they will tell their story about their time as a GSS’er and Stormer. In addition to lectures, you will be doing workshops akin to GSS, the study tracks and possible career tracks!

Besides your studies, the most important thing might just be to get to know UUUUtrecht, don’t worry we have got an amazing tour planned on the first day with games and activities around the city. This will help you get to know the city like the back of your hand. You will be shown places to eat, go out and nice parks to chill in.

The week will end with an amazing Introcamp in Drenthe! Together with all the other first years we will go to a beautiful location where we are going to have a little sports tournament, a lot of down time for you to get to know people and maybe a little party at some point. 

We are just as excited as you are for this week, we are looking forward to meeting every single one of you as the week is slowly approaching! 

Finally we wanted to introduce ourselves to you guys, so you know who to bother with questions and who to avoid. For any updates and more info about us or the week in general you can refer to the booklet we sent you, or our instagram for real time updates! (@intro.storm) 

Our committee consists of 8 people! So hereby a small introduction of our committee. 

Firstly, our amazing, lovely, funny, clumsy chair Sanne! She is the leader of our cult, the mom duck of our duck pond. Sanne makes sure our committee actually does its work and entertains us with her dazzling personality. 

Secondly, there is Andrew, our seccy, he has to make sure everything we say during our meeting is typed down. Usually this is a little obstacle for him as his attention span is shorter than the average ipad kid. 

Thirdly, Ylse our treasurer. With a little bigger attention span she gets the job done in deciding where our money goes. Like making sure it does not all go to the drinking habit of Loek. 

Fourthly, we have Loek, we all aren’t quite sure what he does. He seems to find his board position a little bit more important than intro? If you figure it out tell me please!

Fifthly, there is Noah, our lovely Marloes  contact and seccy assistant for when Andrew gets distracted once again. Sometimes it seems as though Noah is the only one with focus so he keeps us in line when necessary. 

Sixthly, there is Bram Boterham, he keeps us bonded. Without him we would be nothing because he made sure we got to know each other at the beginning of the year and keeps us motivated with amazing downtime activities. His one goal in life? Beat Crossing Boarders at the committee clash, which seems like an impossible task but not for our Bram. 

Seventhly, there is Lieven, our knight in shining armor helping us out and joining last minute to be our commissioner of visuals and beer. This is very handy because otherwise all the beer would just go to Loek and Bram. 

Lastly, a pivotal member, the one writhing this Shakespearian piece of art. Pien your commissioner of promotion, I will be making sure you are updated on everything and that we are dressed in beautiful clothing, so you know how to recognize us through the week. Basically, without me this committee would fall apart, just ask Loek.
