March

The first Saturday of the month, the 2^nd of March, we celebrated the Interfaculty annual Gala on a boat with five other study associations. The boat was decorated in the theme of "Walk of Fame” and everyone was dressed in their finest outfit to enter the red-carpet! It was incredible to see that a quarter of the boat was filled with people from SHARE. The party on the boat was amazing and we danced the whole night without getting seasick!

Then came the time for our Health Business Week and what a ride it has been, with a record number of 400 participants! It all started with an unforgettable opening with amazing speakers at the Wereldmuseum followed by a delicious dinner with a smaller group. A total of 38 companies from various healthcare fields shared their knowledge and opportunities with us. Many students got a glimpse into their future work life. Highlights included the Healthcare Debate and the Symposium, but it didn't stop there! Throughout the two weeks, we were immersed in a range of activities, including workshops, company presentations, business cases, and speed interviews. Each day ending with a networking drink at the “Paviljoen” or the informal recruitments, high tea at Hotel New York, and golfing at Seve. In short, the Health Business Week was a great success, and the students left with valuable insights and connections! Thank you to all who attended!

Next up, it was time to celebrate the beginning of Spring with our “Spring Fever Drink” on the 20^th of March. Eetcafé de Stoep was decorated with many pastel balloons and flowers and to welcome Spring properly, everyone toasted with a colorful shot. Although we had quite a few jump scares with the balloons popping, it turned out to be a great night. We are really looking forward for Spring to officially begin!

The following week, we went for a beer tasting at Café In de Smitse, an activity organized by the Events Committee. Over the course of two hours, we drank several craft beers while we also learned more about their brewing processes and the different flavor notes they offered. It was very fun to try beers none of us really knew, some maybe tastier than others. Although some of us might have had a little headache the next morning, it was a very enjoyable evening!
