The Committees

What is a Committee

A committee is, in essence, a group of students who come together to organise the events for all our VSPA members. Keep reading to find out more information on all the different committees you can join!

Study Active Certificate

If you join a committee you earn 5 active points, and with 15 points you get a Study Active Certificate – a proof that you have participated in extracurricular activities. This is signed by the Dean of the University (Looks great on your CV!)

Social

his is a very fun committee as well as one of the most creative ones. The possibilities of what events you can do are endless. The only criteria are that one event needs to be sports-related (like the Salsa Class with Salsa snacks made last year). The other can be anything: a boat tour with a charcuterie competition or a cocktail workshop. Apply now! Send your motivation to saule@vspa.nl

Are you a party person or fancy yourself some free drinks? Join the new and improved Party committee. You will organise monthly borrels where you can think of fun activities as well as spend some budget on free drinks for VSPA members. Aside from these borrels, you will also promote some study association parties party. Get creative and sign up for the Party committee by sending your motivation to spas@vspa.nl!

This committee starts in May and lets you organise a trip to a city somewhere in Europe. Member you get to decide the destination. You also get to think of fun activities and places to visit while on your trip. The trip will take place somewhere after the summer break in 2024, which makes it perfect to join if you’re busy in the beginning of this year. 

Do you want to organise an art exhibition or a talent show? The Showcase is an amazing event in which members get to perform in front of a big audience. The event will be held at Mezrab and you get to organise the evening and manage the submissions. And participate if you will! The jury votes yes. You are the jury! 

The VSPA Ski Trip is organised every year and is one of the biggest and craziest events! Both members who are ski and snowboard experts and members who have never even seen slopes join this event! During this week we won’t only ski, but there are several activities the committee will organise like a snowball fight, movie night, and of course the Après Ski in the best local bars. Don’t feel like organising a ski trip while it only just turned Autumn? This committee starts in May and will organise the Ski Trip for the next academic year, so you have all the time to think about joining!
