Hi!

My name is Richard, and I will be the chair of Bètastuf for 2024/25, as well as Faculty Council Portfolio Manager. I’m currently 20 and in my third year of the AI bachelor. Before coming to Groningen, I lived in Dresden, Germany, which sits along the river Elbe close to Czechia. Last year, I was on the board of Cover, the study association for AI and CS here at the RUG—just couldn’t get enough of boardie life!

When I’m not in lectures, there’s a good chance you can catch me hanging out in the Cover room in BB. Other than that, I enjoy a good night out or just spending a weekend playing games at home (when I have the time). I’m always up for a game of chess! I also occasionally play the trumpet.

Hey!

My name is Sieuwert, and I am the Student Assessor of the Faculty of Science & Engineering for this academic year.

I am a Biology student, and I finished my Bachelor’s in Ecology & Evolution in 2022-2023. Last year, I did a board year at GLV Idun, which really spiked my enthusiasm for student representation. I am extremely excited to see what the next year will entail and what all our different student representatives will bring to the faculty.

I am always open for a chat, and I hope to see you all around campus!

Heyo!

My name is Giorgia and this year I am the Secretary and Programme Committee Portfolio Manager.

I come from Italy, where I’ve done my first year of university in the field of biotechnology, and engaged in student representation. I decided to switch and go for a new adventure, and currently I’m in my third year of Biology, with major in Behaviour and Neuroscience.
My experience in Italy, along with my role as chair of the BSc Biology PC, helped me realize how much I enjoy contributing to the academic community and supporting others. That’s why I decided to take on a board year!

You will probably find me studying between LB and BB, so if you want to chat feel free to come to talk to me 🙂

Hi!

I am Noa Huisman and I will be the Treasurer & Study Association Portfolio Manager of Betastuf this year. I am currently in the fourth year of my bachelor’s in Chemistry and also currently doing my minor in Rhetorics. I was born right here in Groningen, then moved to Leeuwarden at the age of 5, and am now happy to be back here. Last year I was the External Affairs of de Chemische Binding, the study association for chemistry and chemical engineering. Besides being active at de Chemische Binding I am also a member of the Student Association Dizkartes where I love to party with my Jaarclub and Dispuut. In my free time, I like to bake, read, be creative and hang out with my friends.

Hello!

My name is Iris Klerk and I will be the PR and Event Manager of Bètastuf this year. Currently, I am doing my master in Biomedical Science following the Neuroscience track. During my bachelor Biology here in Groningen, I have been an active member of the study association GLV Idun and the rowing association A.S.G.R. Gyas. Outside of studying, I love going for runs and go to concerts and music festivals whenever I can! This year I was looking for a new challenge, especially in finding ways to help improve the FSE. That’s why I decided to do a board year at Bètastuf. I’m always up for a chat, so if you see me don’t hesitate to come talk to me 🙂
