Hi everyone, 

My name is Rick and for the coming year I will be the new HR Officer & Vice-chair of the 76th board of Aureus. Within my HR role, I will be responsible for committee placement, committee development, supervision of different committees, and a lot of other things. My main focus therefore will be on the members of Aureus. As Vice-Chairman, I am responsible for making strategic decisions and supporting the Chairman in managing the association.

I am currently 21 years old, and grew up in Amersfoort. In 2021 I started my bachelor International Business Administration at the VU and not much later moved to Uilenstede at the beginning of 2022. During my time in Amsterdam I have met a lot of new people and made new friends. Next to my study I also play football and have been doing this for almost 16 years.

During my bachelor IBA I went on exchange to Oslo, which was an amazing experience and again met so many amazing people. I truly advise everyone to go on exchange! Last summer, I finished my bachelor IBA and now it is time to be part of the 76th board. This will be my first time to be part of Aureus as I have not done any committee work during my bachelor. Therefore, I am looking forward to learning everything about Aureus and becoming part of this amazing study association. I hope to make it a fantastic year for everyone connected to Aureus together with the rest of my board! 

I am looking forward to meeting all of you so don’t hesitate to reach out to me or to come by our office at the VU main building 8A-32!
