Committee Interest Drink

Every year, FAECTOR hosts a lot of events: from social drinks and parties to workshops or formal career events with many employers. This can only be made possible with the help of our highly appreciated committee members who support the board of FAECTOR. As a committee member you will not only create amazing events, but also enjoy a legendary year as an active member of FAECTOR! In June 2025, we are recruiting new committee members again. The following committees are opening up:

- Excellence Committee
- Chair of the Freshmen Committee
- Chair of the Eerstejaarscommissie

Excellence Committee

The FAECTOR/ESE Excellence Programme is a programme designed for the highlymotivated students. The goal of the programme is to give students the opportunity to explore different sides of an econometric theme not treated in the regular curriculum, by learning both the theory and how to apply it in practice. The programme starts in January and ends in June. There are weekly sessions in block 3, 4 and 5 (excluding week 8 of each block), consisting of either a guest lecture, a company visit, or a workshop. The sessions (both lectures and workshops) will be on Wednesdays from 5 until 7 PM. As part of the Excellence Programme committee you are in charge of all aspects of the organisation. Together with the rest of your committee and ESE you will decide on the topic for this year’s programme. Furthermore, you’ll handle all the contact with professors and companies giving guest lectures or hosting company visits. As an added bonus, you will also participate in the programme yourself, meaning you also receive the 4 extracurricular ECTS.

The committee consists of two members: one Chair(wo)man and one Secretary & Marketing Officer.

Chair of the Freshmen Committee / Eerstejaarscommissie

Every year, a group of first-year students obtains a place in the Eerstejaarscommissie or the Freshmen Committee – important committees that carry a lot of responsibility, but moreover are a lot of fun! These first-year students organise social events that create memories lasting for a lifetime. This year, the Eerstejaarscommissie organised a wide spectrum of activities, varying from a pub quiz to a FAECTOR film night. The Freshmen Committee also hosted several exciting events, such as a dinner and the annual FAECTOR football tournament. At the end of the year, both committees get to organise an unforgettable introduction weekend: PINKWIN for Dutch students, and PENGUIN for international and BSc2 students! By joining one of these committees, you come into contact with all first-year students as well as students from higher years. Apart from getting to know lots of new people, you also learn various skills that you do not learn by just going to your lectures. 

We are looking for proactive and enthusiastic students who are driven and social. The only position opening up is the Chair – one for the Eerstejaarscommissie and one for the Freshmen Committee.

Why should you become an Active Member?

Becoming an Active Member is the best way to meet a lot of fellow students in a short amount of time. Furthermore, you get to join exclusive activities for Active Members: Active Members Day, Active Members Weekend and many more! Besides getting to know a lot of people and having the chance to participate in exclusive activities, you will be able to develop your social, organisational and teamwork skills and boost your CV. 

The deadline to apply is 20 june at 23:59! You can apply for a committee here.
