Hi guys!

My name is Nora Juliana Totsche, also known as NJ, and I am this year's chair of GLV Idun! I'm a 22 year old Biomedical Sciences Master student, and have already been a member in Idun for more than 4 years now. In that time I’ve had the joy to be part of the Lustrum Committee as well as StudyTour.

In my free time I love playing (Beach) Volleyball so if you’re ever looking for an extra player, I’m in! Also, I love to read, so if you have book recommendations I’d love to hear them!

I’m looking forward to making the Hok a second home and meeting as many of you as possible, so feel free to come by!

P.S. I love having discussions about the questions on the whiteboard in the Suite <3


Hey everyone,

My name is Ellen Drenth, I am 22 years old, born and raised in Drachten and I am a second year master student of Biomedical Sciences and Behaviour and Cognitive Neurosciences. In my free time I enjoy playing the piano, being creative and having fun with my friends.

The past four years I have been an Idun member, which has brought me so many amazing experiences, memories and of course many friends. Three of those years I had the honor to be part of the Almanac Committee. I am very grateful for all the friends I have made along the way, and I am very excited to meet even more people and give something back to our amazing association this year as the twentieth secretary.

Hi there!

My name is Iris de Jong, and I’m a 20-year-old Life Science and Technology student. This year, I have the honor of being the Treasurer of our association, so I’ll be responsible for all the finances. They say money talks, and in my case, that’s definitely true, because I love a good chat.

Next to being Treasurer, I’ll also be supporting Nora in her role, as I am the Vice-Chair of this board.

When I’m not working on bookkeeping, I like to be book-reading. I also enjoy hanging out with friends, drinking coffee, playing video games, and exploring a bunch of other hobbies.

On top of that, I’m also one of the confidential contact persons. If you ever need someone to talk to, whether it’s something big or small, know that I’m here for you :)

Looking forward to meeting you!



Hi there,

My name is Emma Viersen, and I’m a proud Frisian from Goutum. This year, I have the privilege of fulfilling the amazing role of Internal Affairs, and I’m really excited to take on this challenge! I’m 20 years old and recently completed the first two years of my LS&T bachelor’s program. I look forward to bringing my energy and enthusiasm to ‘t Hok.

In my free time, I enjoy staying active through sports, baking delicious pastries, and sewing my own clothes. You will probably find me going out a lot this year and will spot me dancing extravagantly on the dance floor at an IduNight!

I’m looking forward to seeing you all at ’t Hok and at many Idun activities. I’m always up for a chat, so don’t hesitate to come by and say hi!

Hi everyone!

My name is Bas van der Graaf and I was given the opportunity to fulfill the position of Commissioner of External Affairs for the 20th board of GLV Idun! I am 21 years old and was born and raised in Groningen. Even though I only became an active member within Idun a year ago, it did not take long for Idun to feel like one big friend group. This is why I wanted to dedicate a year of my life to this lovely association! Last year I finished my Bachelor in Biomedical Engineering, and now felt like a break from studying. I am not doing this board year alone, but with an amazing group of people, and to add on top of that, it’s during the 4th lustrum year!

During the year I will be busy getting as much money in as possible for our association by collaborating with interesting companies relevant for our studies and student life! Besides my board members, the Business Affairs committee (the BAf) has my back during the whole year to help me reach my goals. Outside of Idun, I love listening to and making music, spend time doing sports, and hanging out with my friends.

Feel more than welcome to approach me if you have any questions, or want to have a quick chat at the Suite! I am looking forward to being your board for the year! 


Heya!

My name is Filip Manda, I’m 20, and I am from Romania. I am a third-year Biology student majoring in Biomedical Sciences who was desperately in need of a break from studying - so I joined the board as the Commissioner of Education! Whenever I am not brainstorming for educational projects or working with my dear Ellen on PR to keep our socials fun, you probably won’t find me in the Hok (since I am definitely on a weird adventure to complete side quests).

You should come say hi, especially if you love playing board games, baking, or singing too loudly to songs!
