The BOARD
Secretary & Vice-President
President
Cynthia
(Any Pronouns)
Heyooo! My name is Cynthia, I'm 25 years old, and I am so incredibly
excited to be your new president the coming academic year! Aside from your candidate chair, I am also a huge geek who loves being outdoors, playing sports, and cheating at boardgames. I also love sewing my own clothes and making nerdy cosplays.
Currently, I am studying computing science, but next year I'll be taking a gap year so who knows what the future holds. Thank you so much and I am looking forward to making next year a great one!
Lily
(She/Her)
Hello everybody, I'm Lily! Your ever so enthusiastic Secretary for the upcoming year.
I have a boring adult job, forever chained to the capitalistic office lifestyle and will follow a one year study in Leadership & Management. When I'm not hyperfixating on obscure niche topics (or when my higher brain function decides to kick in ...) I can be found listening to music, tending to my plants and inhaling every piece of knowledge my brain deems interesting.
I'd describe myself as an extrovert with a contagious enthusiasm, valueing intersectionality, structure and great hugs, and one who feels most at home with my community. These traits are precisely what I'll use to make Ganymedes grow and blossom into something even more beautiful.
Commissioner of Internal Affairs
Treasurer
Evie
(She/Her)
Hey everyone, my name is Evie Veenhuizen and I am 22 years old. I am happy to announce that I will be the upcoming treasurer in board XV of Ganymedes! Currently I am in my third year of the bachelor biology, with a major in Ecology & Evolution. My biggest hobby is keeping saltwater aquariums and sharing my knowledge to anything marine biology related. Always feel free to approach me with any questions you might have or just to strike up a conversation!
Levi
(He/Him)
Hello there! My name is Levi and I am excited to share with you that I am the Candidate Commissioner of Internal Affairs for the XV Board of Ganymedes. I am 24 years old and doing my MSc in Clinical Psychology, however I am taking a gap year to work, study Dutch and of course to fulfil my new responsibilities as a board member. In my free time I like playing video games for days at a time and rewatching my comfort series for the fifth time. However, I also like working out, going on long walks in the park and of course I don't shy away from a party either. Ganymedes has brought me lots of amazing friends and memories and I am so excited to give back to the association and celebrate 15 years of Ganymedes with all of you!
Commissioner of Public Relations
Commissioner of External Affairs
Deirdre
(She/Her)
I'm Deirdre, your perpetually unsmiling Candidate Commissioner of External Affairs for 2023-2024.
I'm an undergrad at the RUG fuelled entirely by sleep deprivation-induced euphoria. In spite of the murderous glare, I'm also an extrovert on steroids who loves meeting new people, and I intend to put those attributes to good use in strengthening Gany's connections with the wider community. I admire everything this association stands for and will take pride in serving it this year.
I can usually be found listening to electronic music and binge-reading Wikipedia articles, but fear not! My resulting personality is only slightly more irritating than you might
expect.
Andrei
(He/Him)
Hey y’all! My name is Andrei and I am very excited to share that I am the Candidate Commissioner of PR for the coming year. I’ve graduated the Computing Science BSc and started my MSc in the same field, although for now I am taking a gap year to focus more on work, my own projects, as well as my new responsibilities as a board member. To briefly describe myself, I am a daydreaming nerd who spends too much time playing video games and watching movies, but who is also always down to party. I am really excited to celebrate 15 years of Ganymedes as part of the board and I can’t wait to share with you what me and the rest of the candidate board have planned for this association!
