Are you available for 4-8 hours per week and looking for a new challenge? Then a SSU board year might be for you! Next to it being a great addition to your CV, there are other reasons why you should consider doing a part-time board year at the SSU Foundation. Previous board members tell us about the things they have learned or enjoyed in their board year.
Things board members have learned:
- How to work together in a diverse but close team
- How to work efficiently
- How to meet & maintain contact with representatives of firms, big and small, local and international
- How to present yourself and the foundation professionally
- How to manage teams of students working on case studies (external relations)
- How to deal with uncertainties and things going differently than planned
- How to make hard decisions that have impact on a group of students
Experiences board members enjoyed specifically:
- Working closely together with a group of other board members; get to know new people and form new friendships
- Expanding your personal network with innovation students, upcoming and established companies and UU representatives
- Organizing an experience for 23 highly motivated students, focussed on professional, personal and educational development
- The study tour as a cherry on top of an already amazing programme
