GHD Ubbo Emmius

A new committee year also means a new First-Year Committee, and what a committee! The First-Year Committee is perhaps one of the youngest First-Year Committees in years, which means a completely fresh start! As a proud chair, I would like to introduce the new FYC to you!

First of all, our lovely Arno. Arno is the vice-chair of the FYC this year and my reliance. He helps me wherever necessary. As a former Excie member, Arno knows better than anyone what it is like to set up a large organization for a weekend trip—super handy for the FYC, of course! And it is as if the FYC was made for Arno because he completely fills up that FC season ticket. We will help support Arno on our next committee trip!

Suze is the secretary of the FYC this year. Suze is always the peace itself and transforms the meetings, which, as we get to know everyone a little better (or rather, we get to know Jens and Floris a little better), become a little more chaotic, into wonderfully organized minutes. We also cannot ignore Suze's cooking skills. When we meet at Suze’s, we can always enjoy a delicious, healthy dinner!

Then we have our treasurer, Jorien. Jorien always has a good eye for everything, and I don’t just mean the numbers! She is a jack-of-all-trades and always fills me in when I forget something. Even when Jorien is sick, she still joins the meeting with full commitment! Except for that one time during the Committee Weekend announcement drink... buuuut we forget that ;))))) And just like last year, when we meet at Jorien’s, we still admire her room—and, of course, the big round ball!!

One of the three PRs is our dear Arianne. Arianne is always cool, calm, and collected, but when we talk about going out and Froukje, Arianne is in the foreground. We can always predict Arianne’s "parel en steen" of the week: going out… and then being hungover. As a PR, together with Floris and Jens, she transforms our good ideas into an even better poster and promo text.

And then our "Buurman en Buurman" :) Floris and Jens form a perfect duo, which means that the meetings always last just a little bit longer than necessary. When the rest of the committee is in an energetic discussion about the preparations for the Committee Weekend, you always hear Floris and Jens muttering a little too loudly about everything and anything—except about the Committee Weekend or anything Ubbo-related.

All in all, a very nice committee to set up an even nicer Committee Weekend and First-Year Camp!! We are looking forward to it!
