CoCo

The BSS Congress is organised by members of student associations at the Faculty of
Behavioural and Social Sciences. The Congress Committee works towards creating a day
focused on employability, networking, and workshops while also hosting speakers. The
congress aims to help students make connections beyond their studies and listen to speakers
with diverse backgrounds to showcase the variety of paths one can take.
We have eight members in this year’s BSS Congress Committee. Let us introduce ourselves!

Our first member, our Chair, is Monika. She comes from Latvia and is a second-year
Psychology student. She makes sure that everything in our committee is functioning well.
She is always up for a movie night and loves rewatching the same five TV shows. An
interesting fact about her is that she can eat an unhealthy amount of cheese at any moment.
Next, we have Ana, our Secretary. She comes from Slovenia and is a second-year Psychology
student. She is responsible for taking minutes of each meeting. In her spare time, Ana enjoys
drinking coffee with friends, cooking, and reading.

Nienke is in charge of Day Organisation. She comes from the Netherlands and is a primary
school teacher while also doing a pre-master in Educational Innovation. She previously
finished her studies in International Teaching Education for Primary School. In her spare
time, Nienke likes to drink coffee with friends and play tennis.

Alexandra takes care of Acquisition. She comes from Romania and is a second-year
Psychology student. She enjoys various hobbies, such as baking (especially cupcakes), going
on hikes, and exploring new cafes.

Amelie is also busy completing tasks for Acquisition. She comes from Germany and is a
second-year Psychology student. She enjoys watching movies and shows in her spare time
(especially with friends), reading, and good company. She adores anything that is fluffy and
has four legs (read: animals).

Next, we have Nora, who is responsible for Promotion. She comes from Romania/Czech
Republic and is a second-year Psychology student. Besides planning and creating materials
for promotion, she enjoys watching movies, playing volleyball, and spending time with
friends.

The second member of the Promotion team is Tinkara. She comes from Slovenia and is now
a second-year Psychology student, but previously studied Kinesiology. She enjoys hiking,
outdoor adventures, singing, quality time spent with friends and family, and occasionally
dancing in the living room.

Finally, we have Denis, our Treasurer. He comes from Romania and is a third-year
Psychology student. In the committee, he is responsible for finances. He likes sports, coffee
(even though it makes him more anxious), The Witcher, Game of Thrones, reading fiction,
and cooking stews.
