What is it???

Constituency meetings are a gathering of UT students and UReka members, general or from different factions, and is meant for discussing and gathering input on relevant topics from all over the UT. These meetings can also help facilitate the exchange between UReka members on topics relevant to us as a student party. All members, also non-UReka members, can use these meetings to bring up topics that they would like input on.

This year, UReka is planning to hold constituency meetings on a regular basis throughout the academic year. The constituency meetings will be held every six weeks.

Thriving together!🙏

Hey there! My name is Milan and I am a second-year ATLAS student. Next to my studies, I am an active board member at S.A. Atlantis, who concerns himself with educational affairs and student wellbeing. I have grown to believe that it is important to actively incorporate student views when shaping education (policy). As a member of the UReka list, I hope to present these student views to the council. Additionally, your time at the UT is about more than just studying. Topics like student wellbeing and transparent communication are of great importance to have a pleasant time at university. I aim to bring these relevant points to the table so that the UT community can thrive together!

Putting students first!💪

Hello there! My name is Aarezo and I am a third-year International Business Administration student. I am currently a board member at the honours association H.V. Ockham and I am finishing my bachelor's in the beautiful city of Muenster. I was born in Twente and have lived there for most of my life and I want students to be able to get the most out of our beautiful Twente! I also think the student culture is an integral part of the university and should be stimulated in a positive way. For starters, student well-being should be made a priority at every level.

Shaping our UT 🏅

Hey there! My Name is Fridtjof and I am a second-year ATLAS student. Next to my studies, I am currently a Board Member at S.A. Atlantis. I am from Germany & found a lovely 2nd Home in Twente here at the university. After my Board year, I set myself the goal to continue shaping the education & life at the UT based on student input. Specifically, wellbeing, activism on campus & digitalisation are topics close to my heart that require top-level action & attention. My goal is to strengthen *your* student input in the decision making of the UT to make the right decision at this impactful crossroad!

Be bold!⚡️

Hi there, My name is Joris Kuiper. I am currently studying Technical Computer Science and am in my second year. Besides being an active student, I am also a board member of one of the student associations at the Pakkerij. Being bold is what I see as an integral part of our student culture. Throughout history students have always aimed to bring change in the world or their university. This legacy of being bold and trying to bring change is what I want to continue in the University Council. By being bold I will try to expand our amazing student activism culture, improve our quality of education and create a safe environment for everyone on our beautiful campus to enjoy.

Hi there, nice to meet you. My name is Jaime and I am a first-year master's student Civil Engineering and Management.. Maybe you have seen me walk around the Horst, play a soccer match at V.V. Drienerlo, at the gym or late at night when I am getting you your drinks while working as a bartender at Aspen Valley. Last year in the council, I worked on the portfolio of student wellbeing and also voiced the wellbeing initiative to the Executive Board. During my work for my study association ConcepT, be it for committees or writing a Strategic Policy Plan, I learned that there are way more aspects to the student policy than I thought. I would like to be the voice of the students within the University Council to make sure the quality of the student life is maintained or improved by the decisions made by the University.

Change is inevitable, growth is optional✅

Hi everyone! My name is Tom Tankink and I am currently in my second year of the Bachelor Mechanical Engineering. Last year I was part of the board of my study association, W.S.G. Isaac Newton. This was an amazing, but sometimes also a challenging experience in these rapidly changing times. As a Commissioner of Educational Affairs, I encountered a lot of problems that originated from this rapid change at the UT and most importantly found out that for solving these problems the ‘current student’ was not at the centre of attention. For me, it is important that we as a current group of students make clear what is best for us, so that our voices will be heard, both in education and in the entire campus community.

Bringing uTwente back to U!🙏

Hi, my name is Bart Schuurman. Last year I finished my bachelor Electrical Engineering and next year I will start my master's EE. This year, I am a board member of E.T.S.V. Scintilla, the study association of Electrical Engineering. Next to this, I am the current chair of the Faculty Council of EEMCS. I have learned a lot in both functions and seen a lot of good things at this university and also some things that are up for improvement. Next year, I hope to work together with other students to shape an even better UT.

Our Story

UReka is the student party that focuses on the quality of education and overall student well-being at the University of Twente. We think that every UT student needs to be certain to receive high-quality education and a valuable degree. Next to that, we think it is important that students are provided with an environment they feel comfortable to study in. This includes managing the growth of the University, supporting sustainability and student activism, facilitating transparency and being an international University. Overall we want to be the link between the students and the University, improving the communication.

Our faction works hard to ensure that the UT puts the interests of ALL students first. We do this by critically commenting on the policies of the board of directors and give advice. Occasionally we also bring forward our own initiatives.

By supporting UReka you are participating in the UT and you make sure your voice is heard! For more information about UReka, visit our website www.ureka.utwente.nl
