Who am I? I am Raquel van Kuringe, 23 years old. I come from a small village next to Tilburg, namely Berkel-Enschot. In 2019, I started my Bachelor’s in Economics and Business Economics at Radboud University in Nijmegen. Through this program, I also lived in Canada for two years, where I completed a Bachelor of Commerce. After all these travels, I felt it was time to return to a familiar environment. In 2023, I started my Master’s in Economics at Tilburg University. That same year, I became active in Asset | Economics and joined the acquisition committee. Why did I choose to do a board year? To be honest, it had never really crossed my mind to do a board year until I started talking to some former board members. They thought I would be a good fit and encouraged me to seriously consider it. The more I thought about it, the more convinced I became that it was indeed the right step for me. I only had one course left to complete, which I could finish alongside my board year. Additionally, I saw it as a great way to develop myself professionally without the pressure of already working for a company. It also gave me the opportunity to explore potential employers. On top of that, friends of mine who had done a board year shared very positive experiences. They told me that they had formed a lifelong friend group because of the intense collaboration, which naturally strengthens the bond between members. What does the role of External Affairs Officer entail? The main responsibility of the External Affairs Officers is keeping the contact with partners. This is an essential task as it involves maintaining and strengthening the relationship between the association and the partners – without who the association could not operate. We always make sure to be reachable and ready to assist when needed. Throughout the board year, Externals get in contact with a lot of professionals with different backgrounds, providing valuable insights into the professional opportunities for students. This close contact opens a lot of opportunities as it develops a wide professional and social network where you get the chance to view different companies and industries from the inside. For many, this has the advantage of making it easier to choose a job in the future as you easily see what fits your personality and not. Before each upcoming academic year, the Externals are busy with the so called ‘summer conversations’, where we visit all partners at their offices to evaluate the current cooperation, as well as discuss the cooperation opportunities for next year. In the time building up to this, the Externals prepare for cold acquisition as well, which involves reaching out to new companies for potential partnerships. During these meetings, we present the services and events we offer, trying to provide a clear picture of the benefits of a partnership. For both types of acquisition meetings, it’s essential that the Externals listen closely to what the companies ask in order to best serve their needs and find the most appropriate solutions. Given the diversity in culture and needs between the companies, no meeting is ever the same and you will learn to adapt to the situation of every party, leading to a unique development in soft skills that undoubtedly enhances your personal development. This is something that may seem intimidating in the beginning but which you’ll learn to appreciate and love when getting to know the partners industries better. In addition to this, Externals also run acquisition on behalf of Asset General, for which we sit in weekly meetings with the rest of the Externals of Asset. In these meetings, the Externals are the representatives of Asset | Financials and make decisions on behalf of the rest of the board. We also discuss other relevant topics concerning acquisition and partnerships. Because of the close contact the Externals have with the partners, we are also responsible for most of the formal aspects of the association. This includes both organizing events and coordinating committees. This is to make sure the communication is as efficient as possible, avoiding the involvement of a intermediary. Externals organize the events in close collaboration with the participating partners to make sure all expectations are made and that they are kept updated about the progress of the events, or any difficulties, should they occur. These are large projects that provide great experience in planning, management, and cooperation. At times it seems challenging, but we have found it to be exciting and something to be proud of. Standing present at such an event, seeing everything you’ve worked towards unfold, is an indescribable feeling one can only experience. The events organized by the Externals include, among others, the Accounting Expedition, Finance Expedition, M&A Day, and the Economics Dinner. Last words A board year has many ups and occasionally some downs, but in the end, it is absolutely worth it. You get to know yourself and the people around you very well. It’s filled with incredible experiences that I will look back on for a long time. As an External Affairs Officer, this year offers the opportunity to develop your soft skills and expand your professional network. It comes with significant responsibilities, providing valuable experience that is highly appreciated by professionals. Beyond the professional growth, it also brings personal benefits, lasting memories, and strong relationships.
A Boardyear at Asset | Financials: Chairman & Treasurer
Maaike van der Hulst As chairwoman, I am responsible for policy, communication with the university, and other parties such as financial study associations. That may sound boring, but it’s actually incredibly fun. I represent the association to these parties, which allows me to accomplish a lot. After all, we work closely with the university to promote our events. In addition to these tasks, I coordinate the two most exciting committees within our association: the alumni committee and Asset Financials Investments. With the alumni committee, we organize three great events per year for our former members so they can stay in touch. The schedule includes two annual dinners for a group of more than 50 alumni and a networking boat event. Furthermore, Asset Financials Investments holds weekly meetings to improve its portfolio, where I participate as a coordinator. In this article, I will elaborate on my responsibilities as chairwoman of Asset | Financials. Who am I? I am Maaike van der Hulst, 23 years old. I was born and raised in Zoetermeer, a beautiful city in the Randstad. In September 2020, I started my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, where I had a great time. However, due to COVID-19, I never lived in student housing there. That’s why, at the end of my studies, I decided to look for a university where I could pursue a master’s in Finance and also experience student housing. After starting my studies, my housemates took me to the Asset Kick-off party. In January, I joined a committee at Asset | Accounting & Finance: the Financial Business Dinner, the largest event we organize, together with three other committee members. Why did I choose a board year? Before I became an active member of Asset A&F halfway through the first year of my master’s, I never had a clear idea of what a board year at a study association entailed. Because of this, I had never seriously considered it. However, when I got involved with Asset | Accounting & Finance during my master’s, I quickly discovered how social it was and how many people you get to meet. Shortly after joining, I went to the lustrum event, where I initially knew no one but quickly made friends. It was a great way to take a break from studying, as the Master’s in Finance is quite challenging. Moreover, during formal events with companies, you get the opportunity to explore the job market. After attending the lustrum event and nearing the end of my master’s thesis, I felt like I had missed out on fun activities during my bachelor’s. I had only experienced half a year of it, and I wanted more. I also felt that I could develop myself further before entering the job market by interacting with various stakeholders such as companies, the university, and the management team. Finally, companies find it highly valuable to see a board year on your CV because of the responsibility you carry for an entire year. What does the role of Chairwoman entail? As chairwoman, I am responsible for overall policy. This means I review our event schedule with the university during monthly meetings. I also keep them updated on how events are progressing, and we assist each other where needed. Additionally, I communicate every two months with financial associations across the Netherlands during our FAN meeting, where we share tips and coordinate policies with partners. I also coordinate two committees: the alumni committee and Asset Financials Investments. The alumni committee organizes elegant dinners and a fun activity each year for graduates. I also have weekly meetings with our investment club, Asset Financials Investments—a group of 45 enthusiastic students who manage their own portfolio and attend guest lectures from companies. Together, they maintain a stock portfolio and regularly pitch new stocks during meetings. Additionally, they participate in case competitions and workshops. On behalf of our association, I arrange these guest lectures and maintain corporate contacts. These are two very different committees, which makes coordinating them both exciting and diverse! Besides my roles within my own board, I also hold a position on the general board of Asset, known as Asset General. Here, I serve as treasurer, managing all the financial transactions within Asset. And let me tell you—that’s a lot! Asset General itself organizes a few events each year, such as the Asset Kick-off, Asset Pre-Carnival, Big Informal, and the Champions League. I handle the bookkeeping and payments, ensuring that we can afford certain expenses—like extra beer during Pre-Carnival! This role takes about one to two days per week because I attend the General Board meetings every Tuesday. In these meetings, we discuss topics such as event organization, budgeting, and Asset’s overall promotion. What have I truly learned this year? Many people ask me why I chose to do a board year after graduating. One reason, as I mentioned earlier, is for the great parties and unforgettable memories—but of course, it’s also about personal development. You don’t learn everything in lecture halls, even after completing a master’s degree. Being responsible for an event, communicating information effectively, and speaking in front of large groups—including companies—are all valuable skills. A board year teaches you a great deal on both a personal and professional level. You also face challenges that require you to manage stress effectively and maintain oversight. Additionally, you learn how to work intensively with a team and how crucial good communication is. We constantly keep each other informed about what we are working on and any challenges we face. This helps us stay sharp and support one another. You also realize the importance of setting boundaries when things become overwhelming and learning to ask for help when needed. Advice for my successors. At first, a board year can feel hectic, and it may take some time to find your rhythm. But don’t stress about it too much. You always have your fellow board members to support you, and it’s completely normal to have a learning curve at the beginning. Everyone
A board year as Vice-Chairman & External Affairs at Asset | Accounting & Finance
Charlotte van der Veeke Who am I? I am Charlotte van der Veeke, 20 years old, and from Almelo, which is definitely not close to Tilburg. Nevertheless, I came to North Brabant to study, and I haven’t regretted it for a moment since. I officially started my third year of the bachelor’s in Business Administration (previously Business Economics) this September, but since I began my board year last winter, I’ll continue with the courses from the second semester of the second year soon. A year ago, I joined Asset | Accounting & Finance and became part of the Orientation Committee. I enjoyed it so much that after half a year, I decided to join the board. Why did I choose a board year at Asset | Accounting & Finance? I chose a board year because I wanted to develop myself both personally and organizationally. I enjoy connecting with companies in such a unique way, learning how to hold meetings, functioning in a close-knit group, while still having the social and informal atmosphere of students around you. It’s also a welcome break from studying, and it feels good to dedicate myself fully to the association. I chose the position of vice-chair because I love interacting with members and want to serve them. I enjoy providing new members with information and making them feel involved in the association. I’m also good at remembering names, which helps! Additionally, I’m responsible for the website, and I love making it as functional and appealing as possible. Another big task for the vice-chair is promotion, which didn’t initially appeal to me, but I’ve found I enjoy brainstorming and helping figure out how to reach as many students as possible. What does a week as Vice-Chairman look like? As vice-chair, I mostly focus on member contact and promoting the association. Every Monday morning starts with the board meeting, where we discuss everything important. Usually, I don’t have many set tasks on Mondays, so after the meeting, I can focus on preparing for other meetings and tasks throughout the week. Every Wednesday, I attend the meeting of the website coordinators from other departments, followed by a meeting with all the other vice-chairs. In the first meeting, we discuss technical matters that need alignment or new digital developments relevant to our associations. In the second meeting, we organize promotion for Asset General and the parties we host. The vice-chairs are responsible for organizing major events like COdE, the Pre-Carnival Party, and Asset Champions League. This is a fun extra challenge, and it’s a great way to learn event management. The vice-chair also oversees informal committees: CityTrip, Cooking Club, and the Master Committee. The CityTrip always takes place in the second semester and goes to a city in Europe. As a coordinator, it’s amazing to help organize this entire trip. The Cooking Club is a relatively calm committee, where you cook for different committees about three times per semester to strengthen bonds between members. It’s always fun and a great addition to the role. The Master Committee organizes informal activities for Master’s students, which is different from the other two and provides a nice variety. Final words I recommend a board year to any student. So far, I’ve made countless beautiful memories that wouldn’t have been the same without this experience. I’ve also made many new friends, for which I’m very grateful. I’ve grown immensely, and I now feel more confident and capable of handling various situations. For example, you learn how to work well with people you may not naturally get along with, which is a valuable skill for later in professional life. I’m thankful I’ve had the chance to fulfill this role and will always look back on this year with a big smile. Sven Joosen Who am I? My name is Sven Joosen, and I am 24 years old. I’m originally from the beautiful town of Made in North Brabant (though you can’t really tell from my accent). Until recently, I didn’t live in Tilburg, and after COVID, I thought about becoming active in a student association again. Eventually, through various connections, I ended up at A&F, and I haven’t left since—and I plan to stay for a while longer. After six months, I joined the Activities Committee and then the board, which was the best decision of my life! Why did I choose a board year? I don’t enjoy studying, and I’ve never really found it fun, though I’ve always done my best. During my very theoretical master’s in Finance, I ran into two problems. I loved the subject itself, but I didn’t enjoy the studying part, and I didn’t know which career path to pursue—Investment Banking, M&A, Due Diligence—I was really unsure. Then I got a message from Stijn, the former chair, asking if I wanted to grab a coffee, and that’s when things started to fall into place. It turned out to be the perfect opportunity for me because in the role I would take on, I would get in touch with nearly all the finance partners and focus on finance-related events. After considering my parents’ well-thought-out opinions, I realized this was a golden opportunity that I needed to grab with both hands. Plus, it would allow me to improve my management, acquisition, and communication skills. What does your role involve? I’m one of three External Affairs officers at A&F and Economics. However, my responsibilities, apart from the basics, differ quite a bit from those of the summer External Affairs officers at A&F and those at Economics. My role heavily focuses on finance. I organize Private Equity Day and also coordinate the Financial Business Dinner, the Finance Expedition, and the Mergers, Acquisitions, and Private Equity committees. I’m also setting up a new event, the Control Dinner, which is derived from the Financial Business Dinner but focuses on control. At Asset | Tilburg, I’m also part of a body called the Acquisition Meeting, where all the External Affairs officers meet to discuss which partners
A board year as Chairman & External Affairs at Asset | Accounting & Finance
In this article, both Stijn and Sebastiaan discuss their roles as a board member of Asset | Accounting & Finance. First, Stijn will talk more about his experiences as the Chairman, and then Sebastiaan will share more about his work as External Affairs. Stijn Smits As a Chairman, Stijn is responsible for the policy of and external communication to parties such as Asset and the University. He also coordinates the StudyTour committee and the Alumni Committee. In this article, Stijn explains what his position entails and how he spends his days as Chairman of Asset | Accounting & Finance. In this article I want to share with you my story as Chairman of perhaps one of the most special years of my life. I have not regretted for a second becoming a board member. However, I often get the question, “What do you actually do every day?” In this article, I want to answer that and get rid of that question once and for all. I will take you through an “average” week as Chairman of Asset | Accounting & Finance. 9 a.m.: Every Monday morning we begin with our regular board meeting, which starts at 9 a.m. by default. We always hold these meetings at our offices in Building E, above Café Esplanade, where we can generally be found throughout the week. During this meeting, we discuss a wide range of topics, including our daily tasks, the activities of our committees, planned events, and other relevant matters at the Asset General level. Of course, we also take time to catch up on our weekends. 1 p.m.: After the meeting, we often have lunch together, after which everyone returns to their tasks. I often prepare meetings scheduled for later in the week. I also use the time after our board meeting to prepare for Asset General’s rundown scheduled for Tuesday morning. During the rest of the day, I work on various smaller tasks, such as looking for alumni willing to speak about their career paths at an information session we host for students, the Master Experience Day. In addition, I review reports from students participating in the Certificate of Extracurricular Excellence program for both Accountancy and Finance, a certification program we run jointly with the university’s Accountancy and Finance departments, which I coordinate. 4:30 p.m.: I sit down with Sven to go over the acquisition and formal events of the StudyTour. He supports me in this when it comes to contacting offices. Tuesday 9.30am: Tuesday morning begins with an Asset General meeting, namely the General Board Meeting (GBM). This is a meeting with all the Chairman of the Asset departments, the EBT and the MAK (all supported by Asset). Within the General Board of Asset I am the Treasurer, which means that I am responsible for all finances within Asset and lead the Treasurers Meeting. This is the financial body of Asset in which all treasurers are represented. I am also responsible for liaising with Asset’s external stakeholders. GBM is chaired by Hugo Uitdehaag, the current Independent Chairman. Even though it can sometimes be a bit chaotic sitting with all the Chairmen together, GBM is often one of the more enjoyable meetings of the week. You can see what is going on in other departments. But you also discuss issues that are important at the faculty level. 13:00: After GBM, we always have lunch together with our A&F board at 13:00. This is always a nice moment in the week. We discuss the latest gossip and often talk about the parties and get-togethers we’ve had. As you might have noticed, we deliberately don’t talk about A&F-related matters. We do this enough during the rest of the week. I am just not joining you for lunch, as I am having lunch later with Judith and Joyce from the university’s Accountancy Department. 2:00 p.m.: Later in the day, a lunch appointment is scheduled with Joyce Ladenstein of Student Career Services and Judith Künneke, the Academic Director of the university’s Accountancy Department. As Chairman, I am primarily charged with liaising with the university. We support each other and exchange ideas on various topics, such as education, student development and our official events. Usually, our meetings take place online, but a few times a year we also go to lunch together. We speak to each other about once every three weeks, but in addition I am in regular email contact with both of them. 15:30: On Tuesday afternoon I always meet with the StudyTour committee. This is an important meeting because we talk about the state of affairs and what still needs to be done for the StudyTour. The meetings with all stakeholders not only ensure that there is good contact with the other parties that we as Asset | Accounting & Finance have to deal with, but you also get to know everyone personally and build nice relationships. Wednesday 10 a.m.: This morning we are scheduled to meet with Peter de Goeij and Leontine van der Heijden, respectively the Academic Director and the Education Coordinator of the Finance Department. Joyce also joins this meeting again. We discuss the usual business and also focus on the upcoming edition of the Private Equity Day. Together with Sven, I am currently busy preparing for this event. Besides business matters, we also regularly share personal experiences, such as how our weekend went and my considerations regarding my choice of study. At the beginning of the year, I didn’t have a clear idea of how I wanted to shape my career, but through the many conversations with the university and companies during our events, I have gained a better understanding of how I want to shape my career after college. 2 p.m.: Wednesday afternoon is always dedicated to my room service at the General Board Office, Hugo’s office. This is a time during the week when I can shut down from the sometimes busy A&F room and work on hard tasks. I often prepare for the Treasurers
A board year as Secretary at Asset | Accounting & Finance – Lars van Maris
For the Dutch version, click here. As secretary, my responsibilities include taking minutes at meetings, the association’s incoming and outgoing communications and annual planning. In addition, I have organized the Audit Activity and coordinate the StudyTour and Faces Online committees. In this article I share how I have experienced my year as secretary of Asset | Accounting & Finance so far, what challenges I still see for my final months and why I made the decision to do a board year last year! Who am I? I am Lars van Maris, 21 years old and currently a 4th year Bachelor Economics & Business Economics student. In my free time I like to play field hockey, or sit outside somewhere quiet to read. After I finished my VWO in Eindhoven, Tilburg seemed like a nice city to study, and when I found a room in Tilburg 2 weeks before TOP-week I started to build my own place. My choice for Asset | Accounting & Finance During TOP week, like many before me, I walked past the tables of Asset and then joined them. Unlike others in my TOP group, I did not then become active in a department. I did join Vidar then, and it is here that I met someone who later told me about the Accounting & Finance Department. Besides planning to study Finance myself after my bachelor’s, the activities and events I heard about also seemed very nice to me, so then I contacted the then Vice-Chairman to become active. The reason I finally decided to put myself in as secretary for a year When I started college, I already knew that I would not or did not want to run nominally with my studies. Your student time is a period in your life where you can learn so much that I knew very quickly that I wanted to make the most of it. Besides, it also looks very good on your resume if you have done some things besides your studies. So from year one I became active at Vidar and SHOT, and about two years later also at Asset | Accounting & Finance. Within Vidar and SHOT I had already come into contact with people who did or had done a year in those associations, and after talking to them about this I thought it would be a very valuable addition to my time as a student. As I learned more about what each position does within A&F and talked to then directors about serving on boards in general, it quickly became clear to me that the secretary position would suit me best. This is where my orderliness really comes into its own and where I can learn the most from everyone else. “What do you do as Secretary on the Board and why are you always so busy?” As Secretary, of course you have the classic tasks such as taking minutes of the meetings and managing incoming and outgoing communication via email, for example. In addition, as Secretary I am responsible for 2 committees, namely the StudyTour committee and the Faces Online Committee. Also, together with our Vice-chairman Julia, I am currently responsible for maintaining our website and the events and activities we have on it. Other than that, I don’t really have very big tasks anymore, but so this does mean that I have the time to take on some more of the smaller tasks that are left between us from time to time. I also continue to play field hockey actively at SHOT during my board year and I still have to work quite often on the weekends. This all together ensures that I generally have a nice full schedule. “So what kind of ‘smaller’ tasks do you have?” One of the most common smaller tasks on the board in designing promotion and social media. For this we generally use the design programs Indesign or Canva. Throughout the year, I have used these to create promotional materials for such events as the StudyTour, Faces Online, and several other events and activities. I also occasionally take over other small tasks from other board members when they don’t have time for this, such as drafting a message for our group app or an email. I also sometimes went with the externs to the meetings with our partners during the summer to support them here and take notes of the discussions. Picking up all these small tasks gave me the opportunity to learn a lot of new things and to be able to watch and learn from many different aspects of our board. “I wouldn’t have missed this for anything and I have absolutely no regrets about my choice.” Faces Online was in the beginning a task I often spent all morning with on Wednesdays but over the months I have learned to handle this much faster and more agile and learned a lot about and from this. As Secretary, I am also responsible for the StudyTour, and although this is one of the busiest and largest committees in all of A&F, I am very happy that it falls under my position. The committee is great to work with and the satisfaction that will soon be there when we have successfully put on and completed this event is something that makes all that effort more than worth it. In addition, I have had the opportunity to attend events and activities that you can hardly find anywhere else and partly through the events and activities I have been able to greatly expand my network. “What moments will you never forget from your board year?” The first moments that will stay with me forever are the night I was told who I was going to form a board with, and the first board weekend we all went to. On both occasions I got to know the rest of my board better than the entire time before that in which I already knew them. On the weekend we
A board year as Vice-Chairman of Asset | Accounting & Finance – Joep Groenen
For the Dutch version, click here Who am I? I am Joep Groenen, 21 years old and living for 21 years in the beautiful city of Tilburg. Since November 2020 I have moved into my room and I like it. Currently, I am in year three of the bachelor Business Economics. This means that in February I will start with the last three courses and my thesis. After finishing my bachelor’s I would like to do a master’s in finance or accountancy, but I am not sure yet which of the two I prefer. Before my board year, I was still convinced about an accountancy master, but since I started, I have become more interested in finance. Luckily I still have some time to figure it out! Within A&F, I started with the Activities Committee, after which I joined the Accounting Expedition Committee, just like my buddy Myron. After this fun committee, I decided to become a board member. Why did I decide to do a year on the board? If I’m honest, I hesitated for a long time to become a board member. Of course, it is important to consider your choice carefully. I have talked to many people, but also looked at myself and what I wanted. What finally convinced me were a few things. First, I wanted to study for at least one more year. I didn’t see myself working at the age of 22 and I wanted to fill in an extra year in a way that would help me now, but especially in the future. I also noticed that I was ready for a break from study life. Secondly, I wanted to develop myself. I noticed that I tended to develop myself not only in the educational field. I especially liked the development in planning and prioritization. I also wanted to develop myself socially, in a board year you work very closely in a team and you deal with many different people. Because of this, you learn to deal with everyone. This is also the reason why I initially started doing a committee at A&F. I wanted to distinguish myself. There are plenty of people who want to do a master’s in Accountancy or Finance, but how can I make sure that I stand out? With a year board year, this works pretty well! Besides making your CV stand out, you also learn an incredible amount that you would never learn at university. You learn various soft skills, such as keeping a diary. Before my board year, I never used an agenda, but now I can’t live without one. As a result, my days are much more organized and I know better what my priorities are. Of course, a board year is also great fun. You have a lot of drinks with other board members and you work at the rooms every day, where a DoMiBo is not missing! How do I feel about starting in winter? At first, starting in the winter scared me a bit, because of course mid-academic year I’m taking a sort of gap year, while of course, I don’t have a degree yet. In the end, this is not so bad. Through my conversations with Martine, who chose the same time, I learned that it could be an advantage. When I enter semester two of year three, I still have half a year to settle into my study life. In general, the load of a bachelor is quieter than a master. So I won’t start my master’s until I have completely picked up the study rhythm again. Furthermore, I still have that half year of bachelor’s to think carefully about the choice of my master! What does a Vice-Chairman do at all? The question is if I perform anything at all in a day I get mostly from friends and family. The answer is yes, I definitely perform something every day and no, it’s not just breaking out and lying on the couches! As Vice-Chairman, I am responsible for several fixed things. For example, I am the sparring partner of the president. This was first Richard and now Lotte. With Lotte, I have a weekly Vice/Vo meeting to talk about the various issues within A&F and Asset Tilburg. Furthermore, we always go through the General Board agenda together and see what our opinions are on the various topics. I will also take over several tasks from the chairman when he/she is absent. “The contact with so many different students is not only fun but also very educational. “ I also have my tasks, of course. For example, I am responsible for the internal policies of A&F. This includes filling the committees in the winter and the summer and being responsible for not only active but also passive members. I arrange study support in the form of guidelines, CoEE, and various training sessions. However, since last winter I share these tasks with the Education Committee. Furthermore, I organize the introduction activities for the master Accountancy and Finance, twice a year the board training and the Audit Activity together with our secretary Renate. Finally, within A&F I also make sure the website is up to date. I do this by uploading events, news, and pages. Personally, I enjoy doing this. Within Asset Tilburg I also have enough tasks. I am in three Asset organs: the Public Relations meeting, the Webmaster meeting, and the BE cluster. The Public Relations meeting is a weekly meeting with the Vice-Chairman of each department. Together we organize all informal events from Asset Tilburg. Think about the Welcome back party or the Grand Opening of the Asset Cafe. I have also helped to paint the walls of the Asset Cafe. Together we are responsible for Asset during the TOP week. For example, I have personally managed the Asset TOP party and the Asset TOP mentorship. I am the Vice of the PR meeting, which means I have to take over the meetings in the absence of Shaye
