Suuspernovas
Fifth Suus Board (2025-2026)
Chair
Madeleine Neuhaus
This past year I held the role of chairwoman of Suus. While I held this lofty title, I must admit that I felt that I had very little to do with the SUUScess of the association this year. I must give all the credit to my amazing board members, now also great friends, who went above and beyond to organise and advertise events, create branding, and control our budget. Without them, my time as chair would not have been nearly as rewarding. I want to thank my board and all SUUSians for a wonderful year!
Secretary
Lucy Conover
As secretary, my duties included administrative note-taking, maintaining the association’s LinkedIn, designing the Suus logo and merchandise, and spearheading the Study Trip Committee (among many other miscellaneous tasks, I am proud of my contribution to the beautification of the Suus room). I am grateful to have helped bring the HPS+SEC communities at UU together during my time on the 5th board. Suus is truly something special and it was a privilege to be a part of it. SUUSpernovas forever!
Treasurer
Mirjam Stelzer (or just Mim :))
As the official Suus treasurer, I was proud to continue Marcela’s hard work and made sure all financial matters ran smoothly. I handled payments, reimbursements and, most importantly, I made sure the books stayed balanced and records transparent (Excel sheets for the win). I loved being on the board for the past year and I got to meet so many people that I am now lucky enough to call my friends. Go Suus!
Communications Officer
Ireri del Moral
What a year! Being completely honest, I was hesitant about becoming part of the board, mainly because I wasn’t a very active Suus member. However, I knew that having these amazing women on board with me would make it worthwhile. I had so much fun and felt supported every single time. When I agreed to become the communications officer, I knew I wanted to rebrand the association. My beloved SUUSpernovas were always there to cheer me on and to help me build our new identity, write the monthly newsletter (with the new “Pet of the Month”!), manage our newly created accounts and much more. This year has gone by so fast, I just can’t believe it. I must admit, a year after, that it is hard to say goodbye, and Suus will forever have a special place in my heart. I love you SUUSpernovas! Long live Suus!
Queens of the Seven Suus
Fourth Suus Board (2024-2025)
Chair
Anna
As chair I promise to use these powers wisely by giving free coffee to all board members, or really anyone who asks really. I believe this power entitles me to the divine right to rule that my predecessor lacked. I also promise to use my power to end the taboo on scientific relativism. Realists have had it far too good for far too long.
More importantly: I’m also the student representative on the FI board this year so please
approach me if you have any tips or issues that are relevant to the FI. If you’re unsure if that applies, just ask!
Communications Officer
Stacie
Hey hey! Hey is not my last name by the way. I’m Stacie, following our legend R.a.f.a.i.l. as
the new Comedianmunications Officer aka community vibe creator! Whether it’s emojifying announcements, making use of my over-scrolling on instagram, or just making sure everyone stays in the loop, I’m here to keep exciting things running smoothly. Got a cool idea, a question, or just want to share some memes? Hit me up! (Ik ben nederlands aan het leren, dus nederlandse communicatie is ook welkom:))
Treasurer
Marcela
As the new treasurer I will continue Jeske’s hard work and make sure all financial matters
run smoothly. I will handle payments, reimbursements and, most importantly, I make sure the books are balanced and records transparent. All of this with the powerful spreadsheet I have inherited (thank you treasurers of the past).
Secretary
Jente
Hi! I’m Jente. As the new secretary of Suus, I will be responsible for taking meeting minutes, keeping records, and managing documents. While Stacie takes care of community outreach and social media, my role is to ensure that internally the board stays organized and runs smoothly.
International Suus Station
Third Suus Board (2023-2024)
Chairperson
Antonios
The chairperson is for all intents and purposes the absolute sovereign of this association. As your god emperor, I vow that there will be no frolicking under my watch and that all my underlings will suffer. My aspirations include tactically pitting the different factions of Suus against each other so I can hold onto power while making nonsense promises to guarantee reelection. It is finally time to bring some discipline and order to this anarchic association.
But in all seriousness, the chairperson serves primarily as the head of the association. The chair has many responsibilities deriving from that role, including ensuring the GAs take place, facilitating board meetings and representing the association. I pledge that I will fulfil these tasks to the best of my ability, promote our vision of Suus, and try to run this ship as smoothly and as agreeably to everyone, as possible.
Vice-chairperson
Tijs
The vice-chair is there to do everything the chair isn’t doing. Antonios might be occupied with keeping his underlings in check, so in that case I could be busy. Luckily doing things for Suus is actually a lot of fun! I’ll take care of membership matters, to make sure big brother is still watching you. Plus, as the only Dutch person, I will be responsible for reading all Dutch-language nice dusty bureaucratic documents. And last but definitely not least, I’m taking extra care of matters concerning inclusion this year.
Secretary
Jamie
Yo, yo, Jamie here / I make notes and keep things clear. / My initials are JMC / but you can call me Suus secretary. / Among other things, I manage the website / so hit me up if something don’t look right!
Treasurer
Jeske
The treasurer handles the finances so that’s what I’m gonna be doing (cha-ching). I follow in the footsteps of the great Marien, whose beautiful spreadsheet has guided my own (I made a copy, ok?). I vow to keep the books balanced and records detailed and transparent, and dole out reimbursements in a timely manner. I’ll also be sending out silly little announcements in the WhatsApp chat so look out for those! <3, Jeske
Communications Officer
Rafail
All right let’s finish this, you’re probably already bored (get it? Board? As in the Suus board?). The communications officer handles, well, communications. You can be sure that at some point you will receive an email from yours truly, or an announcement or an actual physical letter or a cosmic portal will tear beneath your feet. I am also the wrangler of the elusive and ferocious newsletter. That means I make sure to go out in the wild once a month and harvest the nicest of newsletter bois, only for your consumption. I pledge that nothing shall remain unannounced even if it means personally casting a Summon Portal spell.
The Usual Suuspects
Second Suus Board(2022-2023)
Chairperson
Elise
The chairperson has several tasks on the board. In no particular order: being the face of the association, facilitating the GA, being the head of the association, facilitating internal meetings, and taking the shape of a chair. I am equally passionate about each of these tasks, and will perform all of them to the best of my ability. So far the biggest difficulty has been figuring out which chairshape suits me best, but I am hopeful this will be resolved in due time.
Secretary
Ori
The secretary of the board is chiefly in charge of communications, as well as taking up administrative tasks. These administrative tasks amount to taking notes at board meetings and handling member’s registration. Making sure the documents produced at Suus remain available for future generations is also important. Thus, I will take care of having an organised archive, and all correspondence in order for anyone that needs access to it.
As for communications, the secretary always writes the newsletter, and can take care of other forms of correspondence. My goal is to make the letters appealing and encouraging for all of our members to join activities and committees. I really enjoy writing, and striking a balance between very creative and structured letters.
Treasurer
Marien
The treasurer keeps an overview of all expenses, and resides over the budget. I will make sure that enough money goes in and that enough money goes out, while keeping a full administration for transparency. Although the whole concept of money is very inconvenient, I will try to make the best out of it this year, so that Suus can organise many awesome events. I will also try to use my computer science knowledge to set up a simple website for Suus. My nickname is Marienkolder, which is very funny in Dutch I promise!
Vice-chairperson
Mar
The vice-chairperson of a board is by definition the spare chairperson. Since that is not a fulltime job, the vice-chair is the person who will do all jobs not necessarily belonging to one of the other board members. More specifically, my function is to make sure committee registration goes smoothly, and that all committees are filled with a nice, healthy mix of students. Think of me as the thrashcan of the board, when you turn it upside down, a trashcan can also be a chair. I’m also very cool and moker hot.
Founding board (2021-2022)
The founding board included Hilbrand as chairperson, Raoul as secretary, Roos as Treasurer and Samar as general board member.
