Interest drink SWU Thymos Board
Still thinking about what to do next year? Are you perhaps looking for a new challenge and/or are you longing for a study break? And above all, do you like sports?! Then a board year at SWU Thymos might be the right thing for you!
The Daily Board (DB) of SWU Thymos consists of 6 people: chair, secretary/vice-chair, treasurer, commissioner of publicity and two commissioners of sports. All six board members receive a grant from the University. Every day they commit themselves a 100% to student sports in Wageningen. Our goal is to create a favourable and beneficial sports climate by offering the needed facilities (together with Sports Centre de Bongerd (SCB)) and by organising events for students. SWU Thymos organises over 30 sports events every year! These are all kinds of activities like Thymos Experiences, tournaments and yearly events.
At the moment there are 29 student sports associations (ssa’s) in Wageningen. SWU Thymos is looking after their interests in several ways. Besides that, we support students who want to establish a new student sports association. Finally, we also look after the interests of students that are not bound to a ssa.
During our board interest drink on the 26th of February we will explain to you what each position in the board entails. Besides, we will shortly present to you what you can expect in a year on the board and there will be time for you to ask all your questions while having a drink! It will take place in meeting room 2 of Sports Centre de Bongerd (walk straight ahead upon entering the building). Make sure to save the date and if you have any questions beforehand you can always send an email to swu.thymos@wur.nl
