As the faction chair I want to work on better career preparation within the RUG education. The current labor market is very demanding and expects a lot from students, the university should help them with this. Besides that we stand for better inclusion between Dutch- and international students, this will improve both education and the study experience.

As the vice chair of the faction I want to make an effort for the students. Personally I find it of major improtance that students are given a proper preperation on the labour market. Development on several different topics in studentlife and academia is really important, that's why I believe the RUG should stimulate interndisciplinary projects.

As a SOG faction member I would really like to focus on the interests of students at the RUG. In society, we have reached the point where digitalization is unstoppable. I think it’s essential that the RUG keeps up and adapts to the changes that the ongoing digitalization may entail. A few examples may be digital informationclips, digital exam reviews and the recording of lectures. These changes are likely to benefit self- development and flexibility during student life, values that are of great importance to the SOG!

As the international faction member of SOG, this upcoming year I hope to further strengthen the bond between the dutch and international communities. At the same time I will also be focusing on helping to create an optimal environment in which all students can flourish academically and have all the necessary opportunities to excel! In an institute of education such as the RUG it is of pivotal importance to, not only provide the necessary facilities forums for learning, but to also assess the knowledge of the students through examinations which adequately reflect the quality of the education!

As a faction member of SOG, I want to focus myself on the transparency of RUG-policies. We must not forget that we are a international-oriented high-quality University, and that that is something to be proud of. The RUG keeps innovating and improving, and has numerous proper plans for the future. I will strive to make those plans clear to the student community in Groningen in these plans and actively involve those students!
