Heyy guys!! We are the yearbook committee of 2025-2026!!! We are so excited to work on making an amazing yearbook for the lovely people of VIP. Without further ado let’s introduce ourselves:

First up we have our girl boss, the queen bee our chair Bente!! She is a third year student who is from Twente and is literally born for the role of chair. She is responsible for keeping our committee meetings going smoothly and makes sure we all keep up to date with our tasks. Besides being our amazing fearless leader she is also a musical girlie and plays the clarinet!! One fact about her is that she knows instantly what song is being played based on just the tune which is pretty impressive. She is also one of the few ducthies of the group and has taken on the task to dutchify the rest of us and help us learn more about this beautiful country and Groningen!

Next we our amazing secretary Aloma!! She is in her second year of uni and is a proud Barcelona city girl. She is responsible for writing the minutes of each of our committee meetings and setting up our to-do list. Every meeting that we have we can hear her aggressively typing on her laptop as fast as she could to keep up with our overlapping yapping and frankly only Aloma can keep up which makes her the perfect secretary. She has a list of interests which are too many to name for our page but one thing for sure is that she is a talented TikTok certified dancer for sure and always ready to bust a move. She is deeply passionate about Wicked (you can only imagine her reaction to Wicked: For Good when it was released) and can be found randomly singing the entire playlist.   

Next up we have our amazing treasurer, Joanna!! She is Indian but has spent her entire life in Dubai, and is in her second year in Groningen. As a treasurer, she is responsible for making the budget, but also is the voice that helps us stick to it (any excess use of money scares her). Any declarations to the board also go through her. Apart from the serious stuff, Joanna likes Bollywood songs, and as a result, our spotify mix probably has been altered. She is a summer girl through and through and is not used to the cold and wetness of the Netherlands (it is getting better though) and already feels the seasonal depression settling in (she misses the sun and needs her daily dose of vitamin D).

Next up we have our acquisition boss Szymon!! He is Polish and is in his first year of uni! Despite him only being in his first year of uni he has declared himself as the mother of the group, always ready to cook and feed us for our committee nights, gifts us food that he has brought from his hometown and always ready to take care of us (such a cutie patootie). He is responsible for contacting various companies and arrange sponsorship deals for our committee. Besides being an acquisition boss he is incredibly creative and his mind moves at the speed of light when it comes to designing our yearbook. He is also a super talented dancer and always ready to dance to random TikTok audios.

Mirthe is our awesome external affairs representative and is one of the of the dutchies in our group. She is in her 2nd year of uni and is from the province of Drenthe (we are so jealous she gets to be home every weekend). She is responsible for contacting the publishing house and various committees and structures working within VIP to make sure we include everybody in the yearbook. Besides that she assists Bente in dutchifying our committee and helping us learn more about the Dutch culture. She is also an amazing artist and paints and sketches in her free time (trust us her drawings are AMAZING hence her being so perfect for the yearbook committee).

Last but not least we have our fabulous promoter Elis!! She is in her 2nd year of uni and is from Cyprus and Mexico (so exotic wow) and is responsible for promoting our yearbook and making sure you all are updated with our yearbook’s progress. Despite her being the last to join the committee she stepped up immediately when called to join and we could not be more grateful. Elis is super duper creative ever since she joined she has just been brainstorming ideas for our yearbook 24/7 (very impressive) and was vital in designing our committee clothing! 

The Yearbook committee makes the yearbook of VIP. In this yearbook you can find photos of the activities of the past year, and a written piece from each committee of VIP. The brother and sister associations of VIP write a piece for the yearbook as well, and there is an overview of the events of the past year. The committee also makes the acmanac, the yearbook for active members. In it, you can find the contact information of the members and photos of everyone who is in a committee, structure or year representation that year.
