Hey! My name is Wieke Overkamp and I am the Commissioner of Internal Affairs for 2025–2026. I completed my bachelor’s degree here in Delft and started my master’s in 2024, choosing the Structural Engineering track and specialization in Applied Dynamics of Structures. I grew up in Gouda (yes, from the cheese), where I was also born. It's kind of similar to Delft, if Delft wouldn't have an university (so shockingly, Delft is better).
In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with friends, to have coffee or lunch or take a walk or discuss bullshit over a bottle of wine. Furthermore U can find me in a swimming pool every now and then. At home I like to read or try to make some music. I also like travelling, hiking, exploring and finding the weirdest, most creative bridges. My family is already trained to send me pictures of bridges they come across to send to me, knowing I will enjoy it.
As Commissioner of Internal Affairs, I handle the communication within U-BASE and make sure everyone stays connected. I keep contact with members, staff, alumni, and friends of the association. I’m also responsible for the monthly U-BASE newsletter and for managing the BASE. If you have any ideas or requests to improve the BASE, feel free to reach out.
Next to that I will also be QQing the Study Tour and U-Profiel committees. The Study Tour is a trip abroad for two weeks during summer, where we will explore the "omgeving", experience the local culture, visit companies and make some fun memories together! The U-Profiel is our magazine, where we have members, staff, companies writing cool articles about projects, events and more.
If you have any questions, suggestions or jokes, please don't hestitate to contact me by mail or in real life! Hopefully I’ll see U soon in the BASE or at one of the events!
