January | 31st Board

Hey hey y’all, what a month it has been, quite busy for me personally. We started the year with a blast with the COP, during which coincidentally it was our Head of External Affair’s birthday. That week we were also kindly invited to our Brother (MSV Pulse)’s Gala, which was a great blast. The first week back was a definite blast and a half. And as the time flows by, it was also time to start looking for the next candidate board for Helix. Its honestly kinda exciting to see who will be taking over, so maybe it could you ;). We also had another special birthday, which was one of our Internal Affairs, we celebrated that with another blast as well. And towards the end of the month, I wasl fairly busy with writing my abstracts for my project :), great times. Can’t wait to see what February has in store for us, have a good one!

Bless,

Heyy, welcome back to another monthly update! I did not join all the events unfortunately, but I’ll let you know what I did do. The first Helix event that I joined this year was the Committee Drinks, and it was nice and chill to talk to some new people, some of which joined committees. Then, it was Mylena’s birthday, and right after we went to the Pulse Gala, which was a great way to celebrate her turning old. We celebrated Loes’s birthday as well, and organized Board Drinks to start looking for the Candidate Board. I am very excited to see who will apply! I did not attend any other events in January, but I will make sure to see more for you in February! 

Love,

Hello lovely people, it was once again a busy month. It started off with the last week of Christmas break during which I took some time to relax, but also to start preparing the Half-Year realisation for the Half-Year GA. To start off the year great, we held committee drinks to find some more active members. We also had an AC meeting during the first week back, and because we love them so much, we held another meeting during the last week of January. We of course also had some fun activities, such as COP during which the Activities Committee let us celebrate the start of a New Year again. We got to celebrate our Head of External Affairs’ birthday in an awesome way, as we attended the Pulse Gala. As we have started our search for our candidate board (don’t hesitate to apply, it’s a  blast!), we also held candidate board drinks to give an opportunity to give insight into the different board positions.

I am looking forward to seeing what February holds for us!

Toodaloo,

Greetings fellow DNA shaped people! Welcome back to yet another monthly update with yours truly. January was such an incredible and fascinating month. At first, myself, just like all of you I expect, had to get used to being actively working again after the christmas break. We started this month of with a bang. Get it, because it is the new year. First we had a few committee drinks. Many of you seemed quite interested in becoming an active member. Furthermore, we joined our brothers, MSV Pulse, in their annual Gala. It was quite fun, but I can guarantee you, not as fun as our gala will be. Hope to see you guys there as well. Also, so many of my fellow board members were born in January. So Happy Birthday to you, Mylena and Loes. Looking forward to the birthdays that will come up in February. Stay tuned for that next month. Lastly, our board drinks took place during this month as well. Many of you seemed interested in this as well. Have a lovely month, see you next time and enjoy your time, which I know you will as a Helix member.

Hello hello,

Sadly, Winter break was only two weeks. We started of strong with the COP III, the MSV Pulse Gala was another standout event following Friday, dripping with elegance and providing a much-needed break from the grind. Of course, we couldn’t ignore the birthdays—both Mylena’s and Loes’—where the rest of the Board organised fun hangouts with lots of pizza, gifts and good vibes. Plus, we had a blast at the first round of Board drinks, where folks interested in snagging a Board position got the chance to pick our brains. Amidst all the chaos, we managed to keep our academic game strong, with many course evaluations rolling in. I am very happy to share that after the meetings with the Reaccreditation Panel both the bachelor and master Biomedical Sciences programs at UM were successful. So, as we charge into February, let’s keep that energy high and that hustle strong. Here’s to crushing it in the month ahead!

Good luck!

Hello everyone!! We started January off with one more week of winter break, which I enjoyed a lot. In the first week of the new course we had the COP at which we also celebrated Mylena’s birthday and we went to the gala of MSV Pulse. The week after, we celebrated my birthday. I had a great night with lots of presents from Board! We also held the first round of Board drinks at which anyone who is interested in a Board position could stop by and ask questions. No worries if you missed it, there will be a second round soon ;). The brother’s cantus with all of our brother associations was also in that week, which was a lot of fun. Lastly, I held some interviews with some new active members this past month, so keep your eye out for new faces in some of the committees! For now, good luck with exams and we’ll see you at COPIV!!

What’s good everyone, January was an absolutely lovely month for me! It started with a week more of winter break which is always a win in my book. But time is cruel and ambivalent and the day came to go back to uni :(.

Happy New Year folks! And what a great start to 2024 this past month has been! The first week back to uni started with a bang, I turned 20 at the Helix COP!!!!!!! That was so fun; I was surrounded by people that I love so so much, (I might’ve even shed a few tears, but shhhh can’t show my weaknesses). Then the next day was the Pulse gala, before which I had dinner with board where I received a lot of presents hehehhehehe. Anyways, 20 is going great socially….. Academically….. Well, tbd. We also had a few board drinks to let people know what being on the board entails and try to get them…. on board (that’s a knee-slapper right there).  The brother’s cantus was held on the 19th where a lot of beer chugging and singing was involved, and to my dismay, quite a lot of walking.  And other than a few sponsor meetings, nothing much. But February will be JAM-PACKED LET ME TELL YOU!

JOIN THE HELIX TRAVEL IN MAY 8-12 !!!! WE ARE GOING TO PRAGUEEEEEE! 😉

Hehehehehe,

Ciao, Mylena the Shenanigangster.
