Board

SWU Thymos is a student-run organisation with the goal to facilitate and stimulate students to engage in sporting activities. The SWU Thymos board consists of a group of students who are enthousiastic about getting students engaged in sports and activities

The Board of SWU Thymos consists of six students which take up the different fuctions every year. There are the usual functions of Chair, Secretary / Vice-chair and Treasurer. Besides these, one person take up the function of Commissioner publicity and two take up the function of Commissioners sport.

The board fulfills a variety of tasks related to student sports in Wageningen. SWU Thymos is the first contact point for students for almost all sports related matters. The Board helps students to participate in sport events on all different levels and makes sure that small materials are sufficient for all sporting students. We do this by helping students with the organization of both events and associations. We also distribute subsidies over the student sports associations and individuals in order to make sports accessible for all students.

Aside from organisatiorial taks, SWU Thymos organizes many events throughout the year. Some notable examples are the Sportsnight, Battle of the Associations and dance-evening. We also organize smaler one-off events called ‘Experiences’. These experiences can range from large and unique events like night canoeing or gliding, but also more low-key yet engaging activities like archery tag or ice skating! There are also a variety of more competitive oriented events organized by SWU Thymos. There are a variety of tournaments organized each year where teams can register to compete against other and take the top spot. Some are larger tournaments played in a single evening like the Glow in the Dark Dodgeball Tournament or the Ball&Stick Tournament, but we also make sure that there are always several kinds of Thymos Internal Competitions in Knotsbal, Volleyball, Football and Futsal.

There are many more tasks SWU Thymos fulfills to make it possible for all students in Wageningen to engage in sports. During working hours, there is almost always someone present in the SWU Thymos office in the back of the bongerd. If you have any sports related questions, be sure to come by our office in the back of sport centre de Bongerd!
