May | 29th Board

It is June already! And that means that this will be my last monthly update. This year went unbelievable fast and was one of the most amazing years ever. However, before we get too emotional, let’s look back at the month May! The 2nd of May I came back from Prague with the Education Committee and the day after we finally went on our trip to Budapest! It was amazing and we had so much fun. Back in the Netherlands, there was no time to lay back, a lot of nice events were planned! Starting with the workshop for Master students organised by the Wellbeing Committee. Now I finally know how to deal with stress so all my future exams will be a success 😉 The 12th of May we got the chance to meet the new Rector Magnificus at the Dies Natalis of the university. That was a whole new experience but it was so much fun to meet all these people. Furthermore we had the trampoline event of the Sports Committee and the Karaoke event organised by the Activities Committee. For both events I think I can say that the participants had so much fun! And we are of course ending this month with the Pubquiz of BBS1005. Although it was a different pubquiz, we are sure that the first years enjoyed it and we hope that it was useful for them as well. 

But May was way more than just the events! May was also the month which was filled with the training of our Candidate Board. Burak is totally ready to take over the position of Head of Activities and is already involved with all the committees. And also Javier is almost done with his training. They both are going to do an amazing job, I promise you! We also went on our Board Changing Weekend which was memorable in different ways. I think this will be a forever secret only known by the 10 of us, and believe me that is for the best!

So that was it. The last monthly update. I am ending this year with mixed feelings, I am going to miss this a lot but I am also looking forward to the free time I will get back. But Helix will still be my favourite hobby so I think I will be at almost all the events. Thank you guys for this year, could not have done it without you! And the association will be in good hands with our 6 successors! 

May was the last full board month and I am ending this month with a lot of mixed feelings. On one hand I am sad that it is almost over and that I will miss everything, on the other hand I am glad that it is almost over since I will have so much time left, and I am really excited (and a bit sad to be honest) to leave Maastricht for Sweden. But I am sure that my successors will do a great job and they don’t have to be scared that I will no longer be around, because when I come back from Sweden I will surely stop by as much as I can.

In May I trained Amadiez and Alicia for their positions and I am sure that they are going to do great. We as a board also finished our Year Report.

But the most exciting thing of the month was our trip to Budapest. After being in the Excursion Committee for two years, we could finally go and we had a blast!

We also went on our changing weekend and for solid reasons I will not say too much about that, but it was a memorable weekend as well.

The Wellbeing committee organised the first master event, but unfortunately I could not  be there, but I heard that it was a successful evening.

Activities organised a Karaoke event which was fun, but maybe not the most convenient event to organise. Nonetheless, everyone had fun and all the songs were beautifully sung.

Last event of the month was the pubquiz of BBS1005, and this was, as always, a success.

In May I fixed some new contracts; namely D’n Hiemel and Basilica! So stay tuned for some discounts and nice events.

Well, I guess this was it. My last monthly update. For those who cannot attend the General Assembly on the 16th of June; I had a blast last year and I could not have done it without you. I love Helix and all the members. Thank you for this year guys, it will be a year that I won’t forget. It was my pleasure. Lots of love, joejoe xoxo

My last monthly update as a Board member of SA Helix. It feels a bit weird to be voted out in a week, but I am also looking forward to more spare time. I am sure the new Board will do great, so our lovely association will be in good hands! At the beginning of May, I finished training Burak for the Vice-President position. In the last training, I mainly discussed the Bachelor graduation with him. We also attended some BIC meetings together, this way he got to know what it is about and he now knows where to start with it once he completely takes it over.  Furthermore, I worked on the year report. I also started introducing Laura to the Promo Committee since she will take over that committee from June on. She is part of the committee now and I taught her about Canva and how we make posters. She is doing great! On May 10th, Wellbeing Committee organised a Master event. This was a lecture about how to deal with stress, especially while doing internships or a PhD. This event was well organised, however, the speaker only wanted to do it online. We did not approve of this and therefore we had to find other speakers very last minute. The speakers we had now were not exactly what the attendees expected, which was a shame. Nevertheless, it was a nice and also informing night. Since Wellbeing has some budget left, we decided to organise a last event on June 20th; a picnic. Furthermore, we also had lots of other events last month. We finally went on an excursion to Budapest, which was a great success. The week after, the Board and CB went on the changing weekend where everyone got to bond with each other and where we made the Board pictures from CB. In the weeks after we had many events such as a trampoline event, karaoke night and the pub quiz from BBS1005. Another busy month for sure. Well, this was my last monthly update I guess. Thank you everyone for making this a year to never forget, lots of love <3  

Hola, this month has been an eventful one! I started with training the candidate head of education, Dion! He is doing really well and has joined my SC meetings and student council. This month I have also arranged the sep compensations and the reports for the fourth period have been sent out. We are currently working on the reports for period 5. We also had the excursion which I really enjoyed! I also organised a little SEP assembly for my SEP members, in which we went to the TREK festival. Furthermore, I am part of organising the BMS post lockdown festival for SC. Which will be on the 14th of June, so I hope to see you all there!☀️ My last reports and weeks are coming up so this will be my last monthly update. I’m really grateful for all the work and experience I got to do and all the people I have met! I’m really proud of our CB and Dion as my successor! I wish you all the good luck, you will do great!
