NCF committees

Travel Committee:
We will be an organisation that books and manages trips for Campus Fryslan students, for instance our annual Ski Trip. We try to keep the trips as cheap as possible but still sustainable. We will not offer flights, for instance, only bus and train trips. We also make sure all our trips are CO2 Neutral, either through the agency we book at or we do it ourselves. In that case, we would ask members to pay a little bit more or we pay it from the financial reserve that we build up. We will manage the administration of every trip and will do the checkin-in at the destination, so we will be the contact person between the travel agency/accommodation and our students.
The current board consists of Justine van der Veen (Chair), Julia Jaarsma (Secretary), Nika van Asselt (Treasurer) and Ceylin Dogru (PR-Representative).

Mind-Sharing Committee:
The Mind-Sharing Committee creates a platform for exchanging skills and knowledge that complement our curriculum. It takes place in the form of talks, workshops, and panel discussions by students, local entrepreneurs, staff, and whoever can offer exciting insights or new perspectives. We called it the Mind-Sharing Committee because if we share our knowledge and skills, they expand and inspire new and creative ideas.
The current board consists of Sam Schildberger (Chair), Michalina Czapska (Secretary), Esmé Johnson (Treasurer) and Julia Struzik (PR-Representative).

TO DO Committee:
CURRENTLY TRANSITIONING TO “CODING CLUB”
How many times have you felt like a better understanding of data and technology could take YOUR interests to the next level? Or have you found yourself slowly becoming one with your laptop whilst wondering how you can contribute to yourself and society at the same time? The Technology Optimization and Data Observation Committee focus on engaging NCF members with topics related to IT and data. It might sound boring, but secretly we are the coolest committee of all. The TO DO committee looks at what NCF members would like to dive into, and together we will create events and workshops around these topics. Some of the crazy things students have already created are websites and drinking games. Upcoming events will be posted on the NCF Instagram page. Follow to stay tuned!

Support for International Students Committee:
The SIS, Supporting International Students committee, was founded to help international students to settle into a new country. There are a number of forms and applications to be taken care of such as registering to the municipality or applying for certain financial benefits. We help students with translating forms, advise on how to fill in forms and answer any questions students might have. Our goal is to help others by sharing our own experiences.

Language and Culture Committee:
We are a committee about Languages and Cultures. Our aim is to make the most out of all the different nationalities and cultures that we have at UCF: we want to experience and exchange different traditions and have the opportunity to learn a new language with native speakers. The kinds of events that you can expect with us are cultural dinners (Asian or Eastern Europe for example), workshops, and language learning meet-ups. In these meet-ups, little groups of people can learn different languages and teach theirs. We have an Instagram page where we introduce our members, share fun facts about languages and cultures, share recipes from particular cultures, and more!
