Maud Hendriks
Dearest Sigmates,
My name is Maud, even though you may hear people call me Motta and write Mout more often. I am a third year Natural Sciences student and this year I have the honour of being the Chair of V.C.M.W. Sigma! As the first Natural Science student to be apart of the Sigma board (As far as I know) I will try to make my fellow scientists proud:)
I am originally from Venray in Limburg (vlaaivlaaivlaai), despite being proud of being a limbo, I have really come to love Nijmegen over the past few years. Ever since my introduction week, I have felt incredibly welcome within Sigma and it didn’t take long before I joined the OneCee and Bacchus. This year besides being on the board you can find me in WeCan’tCamp, Bacchus and the Fancee!
Before starting Natural Sciences, I spent a year studying Physics and Astronomy. While I loved some parts of it, I eventually discovered that there was a little more plain maths involved than I had hoped for. So, I decided to switch and ended up here, which I am still very happy about!
When I’m not busy with board duties or studying (pretending to). You will probably find me doing something creative. I love drawing and sewing, and I am always tempted to start new projects that I will probably not finish. I also love listening to and making music as I like to play piano and guitar.
There is a very good chance you can find me either in the South Canteen or in the Board Room upstairs, doing board business, studying, or mostly some random stuff to procrastinate my actual work. So if you ever have a question, or simply feel like saying hi, you can find me there!
I am incredibly excited for the upcoming year and I’m looking forward to meeting new people and making lots of new memories, hope to see you all at the activities!
Lots of Love,
Maud
Roos Reininga
Dearest Sigmates,
My name is Roos, and I am the secretary of the 50th board! This means I will be making a lot of minutes this year, and I will stick my nose in everyone’s business. When you’re reading this, I am somewhere between 19 ¾ and 20 ¾ years old. I am a third year MLS student, although I have previously studied Natural Sciences. When I discovered my distaste for physics, I made the best decision ever to switch to MLS. However, this year I luckily won’t have to think a lot about my study choices.
I was born and raised in Assen, but later moved to Emmen for high school. Safe to say, I have seen enough ‘hunebedden’ and other classic Drenthe stuff. After I graduated high school, 17-year-old me made the brave decision to move about 3 hours away, to the wonderful city of Nijmegen. After some looking around, I even got a room here! Then, my time to discover the student life could start, and I enjoyed a lot of Sigma activities in my first year. I even joined some committees, namely the OneCee and later in the year I joined SOS. In my second year, I became the chair of OneCee, and joined the LustrumCee (did you already know the 10th lustrum takes place from the 5-16th of April 2027???). I really enjoy organizing all kinds of activities, and so I thought, why not become a board member to organize a year full of activities?
When I’m not busy with board tasks or side questing, I love to be creative. I love all different kinds of media, like painting, crocheting, drawing, and photography. I also enjoy my fair share of concerts and I listen to a lot of music in general. Next to that, I enjoy playing sports, and I am currently training for the 4 miles of Groningen!
You can most likely find me in the board rooms or in the south canteen, where I am always happy to chat, sloenker or hype me up for a game of flunkyball! I am very excited for the upcoming year, and I am looking forward to all the new memories I will make!
Lots of love,
Roos Reininga
Julian Toma
Dear Sigmates,
I’m Julian, I’m 20 years old and I’m a third year chemistry student. But half of the second year courses still need to be passed. I'm originally from Beek (little river), a town in the beautiful Limburg. That’s something you probably could have heard if you ever heard me speak.
From the first moment I joined Sigma, it immediately felt like a new home. I met so many great people and joined many amazing activities. Halfway through my second year I joined my first committee: The exchange. Here I got the first taste of committee work and liked it a lot. In my second year I joined Electrun and later also the Lustrum Committee. Which reminds me, the lustrum takes place from the 5th of April up until the 16th of April, so make sure you join us during these amazing 2 weeks!!!
Sigma always brings me so much fun and joy. Doing a board year for me is the best way to give something back to the association and hopefully ensure that every member experiences the same fun and joy as I do.
This year I will be the treasurer of the Lth board of V.C.M.W Sigma. Which I am very excited about. I will be keeping an eye on all the finances this year and make sure everybody gets their money. If you ever have a question about money, or anything else you can always give me a visit in the boardroom.
With Love,
Julian Toma
Karim Mossaleh
Dearest of the dearest Sigmates,
My name is Karim, a third-year MLS student, and this year I will be the Commissioner Educational Affairs of the 50th Board of V.C.M.W. Sigma! I grew up in the beautiful Blerick with my parents, brother and two cats (which makes me a Limboliner veteran). Now I live in the beatiful city called Nijmegen (finally), even though New York is pretty nice.
Besides being a SOG-loving student, I have been happily going to the Sigma activities since the start of my study. I immediately felt welcome within the assocation and found my lovely friends there. After my sjaars-year in OneCee, I joined the committee StudyCee, which I really enjoy.
Outside of this I enjoy doing sports with my friends, going out in the city centre, watching a movie, playing card games and, of course, a nice game of Brawl Stars.
If you ever have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask me! You can probably find me in the South Canteen, the Board Room or getting something from Belinda, my beloved.
I am looking forward to the upcoming year and hope to see you all at the activities!
Lots of love,
Karim Mossaleh
Marlieke Castelein
Dear Sigmates,
My name is Marlieke, I am 20 years old and currently in my third year of chemistry. I was born and raised in the city of Amersfoort. Although nothing can really match its beauty, Nijmegen, where I’ve been living since the start of my studies, comes pretty close. I will be the commissioner External Affairs of Sigma this year. This means that hopefully I will bring in a lot of money, so that we as Sigma can continue organising all those fun activities!
When I was first introduced to Sigma, it immediately struck me how nice and welcoming Sigmates are. In the first week I made the decision to sign up for wecantcamp and I think I’ve never made a better one. After that weekend, I realised that Sigma offers everything I’m looking for in an association. I joined some committees and went to a lot of activities.
If there’s some time left besides being a board member (and maybe a bit of studying) you might find me on the football field playing for potje ballstars. Besides, I also enjoy chilling and playing different kinds of games with friends.
I am very much looking forward to this exciting year full of new experiences and meeting people. It being Sigma’s 10th lustrum, makes it extra special.
Lots of love,
Marlieke Castelein
Aukje Kramer
Dear Sigmates,
My name is Aukje Kramer, I am 22 years old and currently in my 4th year of MLS and I am glad to announce that I will be this year’s Commissioner Internal Affairs. I grew up in Arnhem with my parents and sister and later moved to Oosterbeek.
During the introduction week I saw how beautiful Nijmegen is and immediately felt very connected to the city and Sigma. Even though my travelling distance wasn’t far I immediately started looking for a room in Nijmegen. In my second year I finally found a room and that was why I had some time for committee work and joined A-Team, the following year I even became the chair of A-Team and joined the Introcie. Now I’m proudly member of A-Team, Photon and the Introcie!
In my free time (which is unfortunately not that very often) the thing I love doing most is having a board game night with my family and friends. I also love dancing, climbing, and walking and yapping with friends.
As the Commissioner Internal Affairs I will be the contact point between the board and the committees. I will help where needed to make sure everything goes alright. If you have any questions or just want to talk you can probably find me in the board rooms.
With lots of love,
Aukje <3
Ot Weeber
Dearest and loveliest Sigmates,
My name is Ot Weeber but some of you may call me O T. I’m 9 + 10 years old, currently in my third of MLS and I will be the commissioner activities of the fiftieth (L) board of V.C.M.W. Sigma!!
As commissioner activities I organise a variety of the board activities, with the most notable ones being the dropping (HYPE!), Sigmaklaas and all of the exam DiMiBo's!
In my first year I started out not really being active within sigma, but at the end of the year i already joined three committees :o with Bacchus being my favorite <3. I really enjoyed organizing all of the activities from these committees so I even became Bacchus chair in my second year. After joining even more committees in my next year I was convinced to do a board year with Sigma since I enjoyed the association so much!
I’m originally from Groningen (Nothing goes above Groningen) and even though I lived there my whole life I still prefer Nijmegen as it is just so much more fun. I now work at E-support so you may see/speak to me during your exams in the Comenius building where I’m able to help you with all sorts of computer problems. If you have any questions or need my help you can probably find me in the board rooms or maybe enjoying a nice cold beer from the beer fridge in south or even baking Tosti’s in south for all you guys!
I hope to see you at all of the lovely board activities!
Cheers,
Ot Weeber
