*** WSO is looking for board members ***
The WSO (student union) is looking for new board members from March. As a WSO board member, you are looking after students’ rights.
We are especially looking for a Dutch speaking person. This is because there are things like Dutch e-mail, finances and contacts with the ‘Landelijke Studenten Vakbond’ (Dutch National Students Union) for which board members need to speak and write Dutch. Furthermore, one of our Dutch speaking board members will leave in March.
Do you want to be active within the WSO, but not as a board member? That is also possible; we are also looking for active members. For example, at this moment we are thinking of creating an education working group; such a working group has also existed in the past. But also for other working groups or new ideas, active members are always very welcome.
*** Coordinating an international excursion for the RUW Foundation ***
Do you want to learn how to design, organise and coordinate an international excursion, learn how to effectively apply for EU funding and are you looking for a part-time, flexible internship in Wageningen? Then this is something for you!
In September 2010 we would like to organize an international excursion, just like we did this year to Romania (look at our website for reports)! We are looking for an intern who is willing to organize it for us. So are you looking for an internship? Are you flexible, independent, are you a social person and do you have affinity with ‘green space’? Are you available in the period from March to September 2010 for 2 days per week (exact times and period are negotiable)? We offer you a chance to learn a lot in an organisation which has 30 years of experience and a big network and the opportunity to deepen your own interests by means of activities. Does this sound good to you? Then become an intern at the Rural Wageningen Foundation! Hand in your motivation before 1st February!

*** Attention for short holidays and room shortage ***
Christmas, it seems that we will have a long time to go still. This year we have to work until the last day before Christmas, exams are planned until the morning before Christmas. Afterwards we all have to go home quickly, have a diner, maybe go to church, empty a bottle of champagne a few days later, throw some fire-crackers to the neighbours and back to the lectures again. Little mistake, was said last year, and it won’t happen again. Fake promises. It will be the same next year. Action! 8th of December at the Forum.
Again only one week to relax and for the foreign students only one week to visit their family abroad, we won’t accept it just like that. With the hangover of new-year in our head we can start the 3rd period with a “fresh” mind.
Next, the room shortage. We are talking with hotels about getting students a hotel room for a reasonable price. A better option than living at Hoenderloo. If this will be possible is still to be seen. We still have to do some work on the details, hotel Hof van Wageningen (WICC previous) gave the opportunity to house up to 91 students from the December 11th. More information: www.wso.wur.nl/kamerbalie/
We are also searching for more input and feedback from all students. Therefore we have the VeSte Supporters Group. Apply at

The ‘partij Verenigde Studenten (VeSte)’ (party of United Students in English) was founded in the late nineties by Contractus (Ceres, KSV, SSR-W) to fight for the rights of active students. Still they we try to assure a high quality of education and student facilities for all students.
We have all our plans for the coming year ready, but we really want to act as a bridge between the students and the Board of Directors (BoD). We meet with the BoD on a regular basis, but sometimes we miss the interaction with students. Do you have input for us? Please let us know by sending us an email on

Betaalbaar en verantwoord eten voor studenten? Dat kan! We hebben weer een recept gericht op Fairfood ingredienten. Deze zijn gewoon te koop in de supermarkt. Op deze manier kan je met een studentenbudget bijdragen aan een verduurzaming.
