Active members

The board of ESN Maastricht relies on active members to make our activities to become a success. The active members assist us in setting up our activities, our dicover weekends, cantus' and the introduction week. On top of this, they are required to be at our Tuesdaynight international drink in the Kadans. 

As an active member you can take place in a variety of committees. You can join one of the Discover weekend committees, which plan and organize the Discover Belgium, Holland and Germany weekend. You can also join the sports and culture committee or the activity committee. However, joining a committee is completely up to themselves. 
 
As an active member you'll meet a lot of exchangers during their time here. They see you as a spokesperson for ESN. However, most of the time they will just want to have a great time here in Maastricht. What better way to do that is with regular students who can show them the way around all the good stuff and cool places Maastricht has to offer?
 

Our current active members are:

Judith Brehm
Simone Op Heij
Sofie van Rongen
Alexandros Kyriazis
Kerstin Spielmann
Bart Tieben
Steven van Duin

Tessa Faye Wassmer

 
Welcome everybody. My name is Tessa and I am 23 years old and a fourth year International Business student. Next to my study I am a member of the Sorority O.D.D Amicitia where I had the chance to discover Maastricht in a totally different way. In my spare time a like to be outside, especially in the summer months. I try to work out to find a good balance between al the study and party here in Maastricht.
Maastricht is a beautiful city and i will try to help you to get to know all the nice spots around here. We are going to have a nice year together including discovering different cities, bars and even other countries. It’s going to be a blast.
 

Rob Hovens

Hello everyone, my name is Rob Hovens and I’m a 21 year old  student and I study econometrics here at the university. I’m Member of a fraternity called Rusticus and love to hang out with my fraternity mates in the bars of Maastricht. Another thing you should know about me is that I am a serious coffee addict, I drink a few cups of coffee during breakfast to wake up and then also some cups for lunch so that I can really start my day, towards the end of the afternoon I drink some more coffee just because I like the taste and of course after dinner I need an espresso to overcome my after dinner dip. I am really looking forward to the introduction week, we organized some fun activities for you guys like a pub crawl to show you the most popular bars in Maastricht and at the end of the introduction week we have a huge party! Well I hope you have a nice semester here in Maastricht and I’m really looking forward to meeting you
 

Joep van Agteren

I'm a 23 year old, born and raised in a town called Geleen, sited between the hills of the Dutch province of Limburg. I study Psychology and Health Sciences at this uni. I have been active in ESN for over two years now and I look forward sharing glorious moments with you all up until the late hours of the night/morning.
 

Lieuwe Bouwstra

I am a third year student at University College Maastricht. Besides studying, I am also a member of the student band of the local student association Tragos, playing at student parties and other events. To get some extra cash I have played guitar in restaurants last year, who knows, maybe you will see me play sometime in Maastricht! I look forward to meeting you all.

Julian Slotman

I am Julian, a fourth year student. Most important to know about me: I am 21 years old, I study Econometrics, I like to play field hockey and love to sail. I am proud member of the local student association MSV Tragos. The difference between ‘studying’ and ‘being a student’ is very explicit in Dutch student traditions, I myself try to be an active ‘student’ by getting the necessary grades but also do as much fun stuff besides that. I’ll try to use any opportunity but the best place to explain this and other Dutch student traditions to you is at the bar! But most important is that you enjoy your stay here in Maastricht and have a very good time!
 
 

Robert ‘Suppo’ Ricciardi

Hello folks, my name's Suppo. I've been living shoulder to shoulder with exchange students for four years, and by now I like to think I breath, sweat and bleed exchange spirit. So during your life changing experience here, I will try to hammer into you - party after party - the three beliefs by which I conduct myself: "Whenever I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead. True story." "Reality is an illusion which occurs due to lack of Alcohol." "There are no bad ideas, only the lack of will to execute them." Let the party begin!
 

Esther Meulenberg

Hey everyone, welcome to Maastricht! My name is Esther and I am a fourth year Law student. You won’t be seeing much of me in fall semester, since I am going on exchange myself, to London! I can only hope that exchange in London will be just as awesome as exchange in Maastricht, but it will take some beating. I’m sure it’s going to be a life changing experience for you all. See you soon!
 

Celine Vermeulen

Hi, welcome to Maastricht; I’m sure you will have an amazing time here! My name is Céline, I’m 21 and I study European Law. I’m Dutch, but I grew up in Varese (Italy). I came to Maastricht because it is a great student city: it not only has to offer all the best of the Dutch student culture, but it has a great international atmosphere as well – as you will soon discover! I’m looking forward to meeting you all and party with you!
