Hey everyone! I’m Floris, the new chair of this year’s FYC. I am 19 years old and grew up in Groningen (the province), and since this august I am finally an inhabitant of the city. Although I spent my last year travelling and hanging around Europe, I can’t see myself anywhere else at this point. Meeting new people has been my favorite hobby. I’m quite busy most of the time, cycling from uni to work, or from volleyball practice to VIP drinks. If you ever see me on my bike, my face may look intense. I tend to run a bit late sometimes... It’s quite the journey, but I’ll make sure to always listen to my favorite jams on the way. I can’t wait to see everyone at our parties and events, I’m sure it’s going to be a great year with this group we have.

Hiii! I’m Sara, your 25/26 first-year committee secretary! I am 19 years old, originally from Deventer, now living in the beautiful city of Groningen since September. If the sun is out, you’ll probably spot me on a terrace with a glass of wine... or an aperol spritz if I’m feeling financially secure. When I’m not sipping something alcoholic you’ll probably find me dancing: in the studio, on the dance floor at 3 AM, or at one of our committee parties. I’m also obsessed with concerts and hunting for the best vintage finds!! I’ll try not to get too distracted during our committee meetings, but no promises. Can’t wait to see you all at our upcoming parties and events!

Hey!! I am Tabea, the treasurer of your new first year committee. I’m 20 years old and from the most beautiful city of Hamburg. As a treasurer I am of course good with numbers but still don't really understand the logic of VAT. Other than taking care of our finances I like going out with friends, especially going to bars with live music. As student life progresses my love for coffee has also drastically inclined so meeting up to have some coffee is always a good way to make my day. Looking forward to seeing you at our events and parties!!

Hii! I’m Annemijn and I’m 20 years old. Together with Iris I am responsible for all the external affairs. So emailing venues and other external parties. I like hanging out with friends and exploring the city. I also love animals and being outside. I am from Best, which is next to Eindhoven. Although it’s quite far from Groningen, I really love Groningen and enjoy being in a committee with my fellow lovely committee members!

Hi! My name is Iris, I’m 19 years old and I am from Alkmaar. I really like being in the first year committee and being external affairs together with Annemijn! I’m always down for a drink and going to the terrace or going out in the party city Groningen! I also love traveling and meeting lots of new people. I’m very excited to organize the first year parties and events this year, would love to meet you all there!

Hallöchen, I’m Betty and I’m in charge of the FYC’s promotion. I’m 20 years old, from Berlin and very happy to call beautiful Groningen my new home. If I’m not designing our new promo, you’ll probably find me wherever there’s music, out with my friends or at Noorderplantsoen. I love learning new words from the Dutchies in our committee and saying lekker to everything. I’m looking forward to organise some really fun events/ parties for you with my lovely committee :)

The first year committee is one of the youngest committees of VIP and consists of six first year students. The committee organizes activities for first year students so that they will be able to get to know each other better. The committee will think of creative new activities. Last year there was a pubquiz, game night and a lunch. The first year committee will come in contact with the owners of the locations and will do all the preperation for the activities.
