Hey everyone! We are the 9th board of Caerus!
We are very excited to work with all of you this upcoming year, shape this association, and create memories together! :))
Lorena, Zoe, Fiona, Martin, Alexander, Annelot & Valérie
Introducing the board members

Chair: Lorena Plazas
chair@caerus-ucg.com
Hello everyone! My name is Lorena, and I’m the Chair of our beloved Study Association Caerus!! I’m very excited to meet each and every one of you, and I hope you’re all ready to start your amazing journey at UCG <3 To me, this process was very exciting but also terrifying, as I was very nervous about making new friends and adapting well to a new city. However, finding Caerus helped me a lot to connect with new people, and slowly find my community in UCG (which I’m sure will happen to you too). So, feel free to approach me with anything that u need, and join me on the adventure to make this year an extraordinary one for Caerus xx
Secretary: Zoё Riethmüller
secretary@caerus-ucg.com
Hi, my name is Zoё. My position within the Caerus board this year is the secretary. I will make sure that everything runs smoothly; ensuring that there is active communication between the board and all other members, organizing and scheduling events, and maintaining our records with precision. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or suggestions. From personal experience, I know that being an active member can provide you with lots of opportunities and enrich your college experience in countless ways - so why not give it a try? Together, we will work towards making this year a remarkable one for our association.


Treasurer: Fiona Majumdar
treasurer@caerus-ucg.com
Hey everyone! My name is Fiona, and I am the treasurer of Caerus. I handle all the finance related things for Caerus, such as our budget and the funds to organize events. Caerus provided me with a community and a lot of opportunities last year and it is great to be able to give back to the members this time around. A majority of my work happens behind the scenes, but feel free to approach me at any time for any Caerus related questions or proposals!
Committee Affairs Officer : Martin Friedrich
cao@caerus-ucg.com
Hey there, my name is Martin and I’ll be one of Caerus’ CAOs this year. When arriving in Groningen I was immediately introduced to the vibrant community at UCG. However, it wasn’t until I joined the Introweek Committee that I realized this community exists largely due to the engagement of Caerus and its members. Having largely profited from said community in my first year by finding friends, learning things, and just having fun I decided to try and give back to the community. That is what I am trying to accomplish this year. Helping the community at UCG flourish through assisting the creation of committees, events, and opportunities to have a great time!


Committee Affairs Officer / UCSRN Social Representative: Alexander Frieling
ucsrnsocial@caerus-ucg.com
Moin, my name is Alexander. "Moin" is a universal greeting that we use in Hamburg. Used as an acronym, it represents qualities I value - motivation, organization, inspiration, and neighborliness. I found all these in Caerus last year and am determined to make it my mission to disclose them to everyone of you.
As CAO and UCSRN representative, you can hold me accountable for my promise to take any means to ensure an awesome year for the association. You will find me working in and with the committees to bring life into our vision for Caerus and the UCSRN.
Let me know what you want, and we will find a way to make it happen.
External Affairs Officer: Annelot Born
external@caerus-ucg.com
Hii all, my name is Annelot and I am the External Affairs Officer on the 9th Board of Caerus. My role in the Caerus Board is to work with external partners for example for the ‘t Vaatje parties, the merchandise, and discounts. This year I want to focus on creating more external opportunities for our members both academically for our futures and socially in Groningen. If you have any suggestions or ideas I would love to hear from you!


PR Officer: Valérie Buquoy
profficer@caerus-ucg.com
Hey guys! Im Valérie, the PR of Caerus! I'm in charge of all things social media, communication of events, and visibility of our Association. That means I’ll update the website, write the newsletter, create social media content, and work closely together with Pixel and the committee PRs. As member of the board, I want to make sure everyone feels valued as part of this community! I’ll ensure you are always up to date with Caerus, what the board is doing, and how you can become active. Don't hesitate to reach out to me on our socials or talk to me in person. I believe we will have a great time together and I'm here to capture and document it!📸
