Meet the board!

Cis van Aken

Hey everyone!

My name is Cis van Aken. I am 22 years old and currently the Chair of Olympus. I am in the fifth (and hopefully final) year of the AI bachelor. I have been a very active member within CognAC, having done a lot of committees, organized plenty of activities and even did a board year previously, where I fulfilled the role of Secretary.

When I am not busy being Chair or working on my thesis, I like to go out for a run or practice some other sport like MMA or Bouldering. Next to this I mainly hang out with my friends, to play games or go out for some drinks. When I am in the mood for something less active, I usually watch a movie or read a book to relax from a busy day.

As the Chair of the association, I am in charge of leading the internal board meetings, the general meetings and monthly meetings with members. Next to this I mainly concern myself with planning meetings and talks, and keeping a general overview of what my fellow board members are up to and how they are doing.

If you have any questions for me, you can always reach me at zeus.olympus@science.ru.nl or approach me in the board rooms.

Siemen van Osch

Hello, my name is Siemen and I’m secretary of Olympus.  I’m 21 years old and a fourth year physics & astronomy student. I grew up in the Achterhoek, outside a small village called Zelhem in an even smaller neighbourhood called Heidenhoek. Living in the countryside meant that there was always a lot of room to play outside, cycle around on my small BMX bike and generally enjoy nature. The hobbies I have now are remnants of my childhood. I still do a lot of sports and I regularly retreat to nature for a walk. My other hobbies are playing music, cooking and playing (video)games.

I haven’t really been involved with Olympus before, but I always enjoyed their activities. I’m looking forward to meeting everybody and learning everything there is to know about Olympus. If you have any questions, you can probably find me in the board rooms or the south canteen. You can also email me at: hermes.olympus@science.ru.nl

Herman Adriaensen

Greetings,

My name is Lord Herman of Sealand and I will be the treasurer of Olympus this year.

Besides making questionable purchases of noble titles online you can often find me busy with tinkering around, preparing for obstacle runs or playing D&D. As the treasurer of Olympus I handle all the money business. However, since that is not a lot I also help out a lot on the other functions and take up special situations like this year’s Lustrum.

If you want to contact me you can usually find me in the board rooms or

mail to: hades.olympus@science.ru.nl.

Hazal Doğan

I am Hazal Doğan, I am 23 years old, I am a fifth year Biology student and I will be the Chief of Faculty Affairs this year! This means I am responsible for the student canteens and board rooms, as well as the BHV courses and other small things regarding the faculty.  Besides this, I am an active member of the study association of Biology (BeeVee), in which I am a member of the almanak-, website-, and orientation committee. 

Next to BeeVee, I like to hang out with friends while enjoying some alcoholic beverages, playing guitar, and drawing/painting. I also like animals very much, but mostly cats.

If you have a picture of a nice cat (or question in general), make sure to send it to hestia.olympus@science.ru.nl or walk by the board rooms in wing 5. 🙂

Tren Jacobs

Hello everyone!

My name is Tren Jacobs, I’m 22 years old, and the Chief of Activities of Olympus. I’m in my second year of my master’s in physics, more specifically Physics of Molecules and Materials, now also called Quantum Matter.

As the Chief of Activities, I will be responsible for making sure all of the different activities Olympus hosts go smoothly. That includes smaller activities like the Olympus Biergarten, the LAN-Night or the Battle of the Betas, but of course also the BeestFeest and the Betagala.

Outside of Olympus I am also an active member of Marie Curie, so you can definitely find me in the South Canteen every Thursday afternoon! Furthermore, I am part of the Party Committee and the Sustainability Committee for Marie Curie, and the Program Committee of Physics and Astronomy.

This year is going to be a great learning experience and also a lot of fun! I’m looking forward to seeing all of you at our awesome activities, and if you have any questions feel free to approach me in the board rooms, South Canteen, or via mail at: dionysos.olympus@science.ru.nl.

Mira Engel

Hey everybody!

My name is Mira and this year I am the general board member of Olympus. This means that I mostly do Tartarus things but I do some random things that need doing for Olympus. 

I am in the voorraadcie and the filmnachtcie so if you need beer (after 4 ofcourse) or have a good suggestion for a movie to watch this year you can contact me. I study mathematics, which goes slowly, but that only gives me time to do a lot of other things besides studying.

Last year I was the chair of Desda and I liked being board so much I decided to do another boardyear, but a different function to learn more different things. In my free time (which I don’t have a lot of being board and trying to study) I play Ultimate Frisbee at the BFrisBee2’s and I ride horses. 

If you have any questions you can email me at demeter.olympus@science.ru.nl or kronos.tartarus@science.ru.nl depending on which version of me you want!

(translation)
Hi my name is Mikki, I’m the chief of good boys.
I like running around outside and eating everything I find. I’m also the cutest, most well camouflaged swiffer around, since I love laying on the kitchen floor, which is the same colour as me, tripping over everyone all the time.
If you want to contact me you can send an email to Cerberus.Olympus at science.ru.nl.
