EL (Laura) Witlox

The Student Life, Wellbeing & Inclusion team is part of the Student Service Centre and organises training sessions and masterclasses aimed at improving mental wellbeing, peer-to-peer support, activities related to inclusion & diversity, and theme weeks (such as Surf Your Stress). The team is also responsible for the annual introduction days and welcoming international students. Additionally, Studentlife is involved in policy regarding student life and social safety, and works closely with all student organisations within WUR. The team also collaborates with policy makers, programme coordinators, academic advisors, student deans, student psychologists, and external partners such as the municipality of Wageningen and student housing provider Idealis. In my role as team lead, I help shape the overarching programme and foster stronger connections both internally and externally.

Training and facilitating: In this role, I facilitate and moderate sessions, delivering training. The goal is to connect in an inspiring way with professionals, society, policy makers, and ourselves. This includes reflecting together on socially relevant issues, such as navigating polarisation dynamics, the role of science, and the path towards a fair, healthy, and sustainable food system.
