The Activity Committee has been a very fun
committee as long as I remember, and this year I am very pleased to be the
chair of such a wonderful committee. Together with my lovely committee members
we will organize fun activities such as Mystery March, Hitchhike Weekend and
more. Our committee members are very enthusiastic about this year, and with a
wonderful Pub Quiz behind us, all of us are looking forward towards the rest of
the year. With all the praise my committee members get one might wonder who are
in this committee. So here are all the members of the Accie:
Ilse van der Beek
This year is my fourth year at Ubbo, and I
am very excited to be in the Accie. I am 23 years old and I still study
history. My job in the committee is to remain in contact with the Board, lead
the meetings and try to dish out as many penalty points as possible to my
unsuspecting committee members.
Madison Mundy
Madison is originally from the USA, but
she has been in the Netherlands for close to three years now. Somewhere along
the way, this committee is trying hard to Dutchify our vice-chair, but we have
had little success. Maddy is a hard worker, who for some reason hates onions.
Dido van Meurs
Dido is our secretary, and her notes on
the meeting are always impeccable. She is also our biggest competitor for most
penalty points. She is an avid fan of Taylor Swift, Harry Styles and of course
a Dutch classic: “Het Koningslied”. When Dido is at the meeting it is never
boring and she has done her very best to overtake the committee playlist.
Ruben Dijkema
I remember Ruben when he first became
active at Ubbo in my second year, and the fact that he is a third-year already
makes me feel very old. With his experience he is doing a great job with being
our treasurer, and back-up secretary! Ruben is one of the sweetest people in
our committee and I hope to have a great committee year with him!
Maikel Troost
Maikel is a first year Ubbo Emmian, but a
third year history student. He was very excited to start in this committee and
we are glad to have him! Maikel is often level-headed and very creative with
the PR. Together with Arjen they have wild ideas for posters and I am excited
to see what they come up with next!
Arjen Wildeman
As one of the first years, Arjen is the
baby of our committee, although he is almost 2 meters tall! He finished his
first semester with success. In committee meetings he is not afraid to bring
new ideas to the table. Maikel and him make a great combo for the PR! In
addition to that he also sounds like Frank Sinatra, and somehow a Frank Sinatra
song always plays when Arjen arrives to a meeting.
Thomas Velthuis
This is Thomas his first committee at
Ubbo, but he has plenty of experience. Last year he was treasurer of the board
of Cover. Thomas brings up good points during the meeting, and with his
experiences from last year, he has a lot of know-how for planning activities!
He cooks a mean risotto and has a penchant for annoying Ilse!
Bjoke Westra
Bjoke is the newest addition to our
committee. She is a first year history student and a first year Ubbo Emmian. In
the short time we have known Bjoke we have found out a lot of fun facts about
her. One of these facts is that she has won a reading competition for Friesian
poetry. To honour this amazing achievement, we have introduced a new agenda
point: Bjoke’s Bundel, where she recites one poem for us every week.
