Next to the VU Broad Student Wellbeing, visit here! We as Aureus, the faculty association of the School of Business and Economics, offer additional support with regard to student well-being.
Trust persons
Aureus considers it important to provide students with help and support with regard to their well-being. Therefore, the following two trust persons within the association have been appointed.
Teun van Zijl

Dear student,
I am Teun van Zijl and this year I am the Commercial officer of the 76th Board of Aureus. I may come across as a frosty commercial at first, but I’m also caring, approachable, and here to help. Don’t hesitate to talk to me if you see me around, or feel free to send me an email anytime. You can find me most of the time at VU main building HG-08A32, or reach out to me via [email protected]
Laura Bouma

Hi there,
I’m Laura Bouma, the Marketing and CSR Officer of the 76th Board of Aureus. Feel free to reach out to me if you have a problem, a question, or if you just want to have a chat for fun. I’m here to support you, so don’t hesitate to stop by and share what’s on your mind. You can usually find me at the VU main building, room HG-08A32, or you can reach me via [email protected]. I’m usually around during office hours, so don’t hesitate to drop by!

Aside from this, our association organizes events for students focused not only on improving their well-being in general but also focused on informing and teaching students how to improve to do so.
