Dear everyone,

My name is Anne-Linn Meijering (she/her), and I will be this year’s Chair of Esperia🪑and Commissioner of Education.
As Chair, I am responsible for the general performance of the board, as well as leading the GMA meetings and creating the agendas. As the commissioner of Education📚, you can come to me if you have any questions or doubts about the program.

I am 21 years old and currently in my third year of ELC, with English🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 as my major language. I am super excited for the upcoming year and the activities we will organise!

I will always be there if you have any questions about the association, study programme or if you just want to chat!

Hope to see you soon!💙

With love,
Anne-Linn

Dear Esperians,

Yesterday, 15th of September, marks the end of our board year. With a few tears and big warm smiles, we want to thank you all for being a part of it! We will cherish our time we spent with you and for you during the past academic year. Serving this association has been a great experience — one that gave us the chance to meet amazing people, create new traditions, and give us a laugh while we reminisce it in the future.
We are very proud of our committees, that worked hard and pulled off amazing activities, making this year unforgettable.

We have now proudly passed the honour to the 13th board of Esperia, ready to embark in this adventure. We wish them the best of luck and the best of times, and we will cheering them from the sidelines!
You will still see us around ;)

Love, Board XII💙
Chiara, Wouter, Lina and Jildou
