October | 29th Board

Hi guys! Here we are again. Hope your exams went well and that you have had a nice start of the new course. We celebrated the start of this course with the first COP since a really long time ago. And it was so much fun. In secret, I was a little nervous for this COP, how can I organize one if I never experienced one? But everybody liked it and was so happy to party again. A little bit back in time but this month, the first years Pubquiz took place as well. It was funny to see how much I forgot about that course. The first years had a good time I believe and I really hope it was helpful for your exams. During October we’ve finished the interviews for the committees so now I am planning the meeting with all the Presidents. And, a scary thing again for me, the preparations for the GA started this month! A real life GA in which we can proudly present all of our committees. Helix stuff is fun, but doing something with the board is as well! So I took my favorite board and parts of our old board to Uden to celebrate a festival together. We enjoyed our time together and lost not only our soul but also our voice on ABBA. With new and fresh energy, we are going to start November. Again with a lot of new events, the GA, graduation and so much more. See you there?

Sooo here we are again, the past month has once again been a very busy month so time really flew. Finally all the committees were formed and I had my first meetings with the Gala and Sports Committees and I already heard so many exciting plans. The events of the past months have been very exciting, we had our Electives Drinks for our second years, where I had to present one of the electives without a voice (Screaming ABBA for 4 hours at Festyland with the Board and some of the old Board members took a toll on me). But we also had the first pubquiz for our firsties and of course the very very successful first COP since 1,5 year! It was so lovely to see all of your happy faces, all dressed up and partying like nothing ever happened! It really felt like I was going back in time to the COPs in my first year, which was the last time I went to one (I feel really old saying this lol). Moreover, I have been busy working on the newsletter, trying to fix the menu and of course I have been reading and sending lots and lots of mails. Now I’m looking forward to all the awesome events that are planned for the upcoming month (stay tuned for this year’s first sports event in the end of November)! Also the first on site GA is something I’m looking forward to, but I have to admit that I’m also a bit nervous. People that know me know that I start shaking when I’m in front of a group of people and this is exactly what will happen there so that is going to be fun. See you soon!

Another month that has passed already and what a busy month it was. During this month we had our first real-life COP!! It was an amazing evening and everyone had a lot of fun. The month started off with our first CoBo ever, and to be honest I was kind of nervous to see how that went so that I could start mentally preparing for our own CoBo. We also had some board bonding activities during October which were also a lot of fun. To prepare the firsties for their first exam week we did the BBS1001 pubquiz, which was a successful evening. I hope all your exams went well and that you can all make a fresh new start for the new block.

For my positions, there were not many changes. The excursion committee started meeting up, so stay tuned for that 🙂 I am busy with some new sponsorships, so you will also hear more from that in the future!

I am really excited for the upcoming month, we have such a busy month, but a really exciting one. We have our own CoBo and the Bachelor Graduation and so much more.

October was in conclusion a very busy month, but we did so many nice things together as a board, so I am really looking forward to the next month. Hope to see you at the 18^th of November, at our first real life General Assembly, in which we can proudly present our committees to you. 

Well, another monthly update already. It feels like I wrote the last one only a week ago. October has been a busy month again. Two of my committees are finally formed and are started up. Wellbeing is already planning some really nice events for December and January and Promo has started making posters and designing new merchandise. Unfortunately, my third committee, family day, is not formed yet. After lots of promotion and asking people personally we still don’t have a full committee. I hope I can still figure something out with this committee, since skipping Family Day would be a big shame. In October, I have also been busy organising the bachelor graduation that will take place in November. I had meetings with the organisation from FHML and I made the PowerPoint, collected information about all graduates, arranged some speakers and I made a planning about what we have to do on the day itself as Helix board. Even though organising this graduation was and is still a lot of work, I am sure it will be a nice day! Next to this, also the bachelor open day will take place and for this day I had contact with the FHML promo team to arrange a stand and some promo on the day itself for Helix. I hope we will make some future students enthusiastic about Helix. Okay, enough about my Vice tasks. I really enjoyed the first COP that took place in October. I never expected that so many people would show up for this. Also, the pub quiz was a great success, it was sold out within a couple of hours!! Lastly, we went to a festival with the whole board and this was a great opportunity to do some board bonding which we needed after working so hard. I am looking forward to an amazing and busy November!! 

The exams have passed which means that the SEPs are meeting up again and writing their reports for the coordinators. Right now that is where my main focus lies.  Furthermore, I have had my recurring meetings with the student council and the coordinators.  I have also had meetings with the student council of FPN to discuss the posters in the toilets of FHML. I have worked on the proposal for the contract with SHAPE. I have also arranged student representatives for coordinators who asked for this. One thing I am still working on is finding more students for the minors of the third year. Besides that, I really enjoyed all the events that we hosted! The elective drinks really helped with choosing which electives I wanted to do. The pub quiz made me realize how much I had already forgotten from last year :). And I loved dancing at our COP. I am looking forward to all the events in November and hope to see you there!
