Why did you join a student association?
“When I started university, I mainly wanted to meet new people. During the introduction week, I got to know all kinds of student associations. I eventually chose Mycelium, the study association for my study programme because it was an easy way to get to know my fellow students better. I enjoyed it so much that I later joined several committees and even spent a year on the board.
What kind of activities did you organise?
“There was always something going on at our association throughout the year: drinks, parties, weekend trips, study trips, workshops and lectures. In my second year, I joined the Battle Committee, where we organised sports and games. Looking back, I actually regret not joining a committee in my first year, as it gave me so many new connections, experiences and opportunities to develop myself. After that, I became secretary of the board in my third year, and in my final year of my bachelor’s degree, I helped organise the introduction programme for new students.
