Introduction Committee

Hii there! We would like to introduce you to this year's 2025, introduction committee!
We will be organising the introduction week for first year GSS students in the first
week of September. This week is all about meeting your fellow students, making new friends and getting some insight on the study. We will plan not only educational activities but also some very exciting, active and fun ones! Our committee consists of 8 amazing members, so hereby a small introduction to get to know them.


Firstly, we have our amazing Chair Mae! She leads our meeting and makes sure we all keep up with our to do points. Even though Mae keeps our committee organised and on schedule, she is also one of the most clueless people we have met. Most of the time she does not know what is going on, but fortunately that does not hinder her great performance as Chair.


And then we have Jules (Mae’s clueless partner in crime), who types down all the important things discussed during the meetings, including the out of pocket stuff said (mostly by Piet). We can see Jules has improved a lot, as last year apparently he didn’t even know what a word in the minutes was and now he is our beloved secretary and a master in hiding the words in the minutes.

Elisa is the treasurer of the introduction committee. She is in charge of the budget for the week. Elisa seems unstoppable, as she is always there to take up more tasks, where would we be without her?! She is very responsible (luckily for our money), but don’t be fooled because she can also do some really stupid stuff (most likely under the influence of a few drinks).


Then we have Piet! What exactly does Piet...? We don’t know either.
Just kidding, Piet is our fantastic commissioner of visuals! While his role becomes more important later in the year, he is always able to help out with other tasks. Piet is also our great lead singer of the committee, putting up a breathtaking performance during a dinner and show event.


Next up is Merel, our commissioner of promotions and who also helps out with bonding and visuals! She likes to keep busy with all the creative stuff for the committee such as the merchandise, promotions and posters. Next to being one of the first years in the committee she is always in for a night out (she just cannot say no even if her life depended on it).


Victor is our commissioner of bonding! Our only goal for this year’s introduction committee according to him is to beat Career in the committee clash. He organises fun activities for the 8 of us to spend more time together outside meetings and even though he mostly comes up with fun things to do he also has some debatable ideas for bonding activities.


Our Jantien contact is Anne! However, Jantien has left so now we are waiting for a replacement, meaning Anne is now our “soon-to-be-the-new-Jantien” contact. She takes care of the communication between the university and the committee. Anne is our second first year and managed to be the one with the second most beer points already.

And lastly, our board member David! He ensures that communication between the Committee and the Board goes well and he is always prepared to help out others with their tasks. Although David might not look like he would, but somehow he holds the name of the person with the most beer points, probably because he never reads the minutes and finds the word...


We all look forward to organising the introduction week and hope to see you all
there! :)
