The Board
Secretary
President & Commissioner of External Affairs
dEIRDRE
(She/Her)
I'm Deirdre, your perpetually unsmiling President & 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.
Aimee
(She/Her)
Hi, My name is Aimee and I will be your Secretary for the remainder of this academic year. I am currently taking a break from my master's studies to focus on both my gender transition and board work, though I'll be returning to such endeavours in September to the subject I love, History! Other than the aforementioned, I love writing, video games, bike touring around Europe and all things Heavy Metal music 🤘.
As the Secretary, I am here to answer your emails and be the first line of communication to those who wish to join or leave. Anything regarding these issues, or anything else for that matter, my inbox is open and I'm more than happy to help you out! :)
Commissioner of Internal Affairs & Vice-President
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 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 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
General Board Member
Ines
(They/Them)
Hi! I’m Ines and I am the new General Board Member of Ganymedes’s board XV. I am a 21-year-old psychology student from Germany, now in my second year of both studying and my time at Ganymedes. In my free time, I love to read (or at least claim that I do), play low-stakes video games, and do crafts.
Ganymedes has been an incredibly important part of my life for the past year and a half, as the association and its incredible members have helped me become much more comfortable with myself, and have also helped me meet many amazing people and friends. I am excited to be able to give back to the association by serving as a board member for this academic year!
Andrei
(He/Him)
Hey y’all! My name is Andrei and I am very excited to share that I am the 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 my studies a bit slower 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!
General Board Member
Gordo
(He/They/Swetie/Pie)
My full name is Sir Gordonimo Watersrpout (He/They), but you can call me Gordo. I come from the English countryside, where I was known to make the highest and most daring jumps among the froggies. I joined Ganymedes during KEI week and then got secretly snuck into the board. I wanted people to know that I am not just cute, but I am a real board member, so in April, I took over the board briefly as Commissioner of Everything. And I can do it again!!!
