Well hello there,
The name is Raoul, the title is Commissioner of External Affairs and the honour is all mine! That is, the honour of meeting all of you, our new members! As you will soon come to understand, the functioning of the brains used for studying at our wonderful faculty cannot go without the beating of the heart that is U-BASE. This association welcomes all students to connect with friends to have fun with after the college halls close. Exactly that warm inclusivity that I received last year is what motivated me to strenghten Board 12 and keep U-BASE running!
What I, as External, will do to make that happen entails keeping our well-established spectrum of partners involved with what we do and who we are, effectively forming the bridge between students and potential employers. Furthermore, specialising in Coastal Engineering (from the Hydraulic Engineering track), I would like to broaden the disciplines in which our partners are active to the world of offshore structures! Moreover, as the QQ of this year’s U-Profiel, I will see to it that our beloved magazine continues to entertain and inspire all who are connected to U-BASE!
Hailing from the historic city of Hoorn, I’ve developed quite a liking for Dutch polderlandscapes which then evolved into a love for the beauty of nature in general. When I’m not on campus, chances are I’m hidden in some dune valley or meadow playing my guitar. For the frst quarter however, my absence is entirely the result of an MDP which I’m doing in Mexico. To be respectful of your time, I’ll refrain from telling about my other hobbies; I’d rather converse about mine as well as yours when I’m back in November!
