Hi, my name is Ilana and I am the Chair of Caerus! I am extremely excited to work with all of you this year to make Caerus a place where everyone feels welcome and comfortable to express themselves in various ways. I enjoy the beach, doing art, and being around my friends. Looking forward to an amazing year. Feel free to approach me if you need anything :)
Secretary: Aoi Tsuchiya

Hi, I'm Aoi and I'm the vice-chair and secretary for the Caerus board '24/'25. As a secretary, I aim to maintain the organization within the association and ensure that the administrative works are performed efficiently. Additionally, as a vice chair, I will fill in the chair's position when appropriate and use my leadership skills to ensure that the board tasks run smoothly in the absence of the chair. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. I highly encourage you all to become an active Caerus member as it provides you with various social opportunities at an affordable price. With my fellow board members, I will do my best to serve you all.

Hey guys, my name is Nia and I am the treasurer of Caerus. The study association benefited me immensely in building a community and making Groningen my second home. I mainly work on finances behind the scenes and collaborate with the treasurers of the committees but if you have any questions please feel free to contact me. I am looking forward to working with you guys and creating awesome events!

Hi everyone, my name is Dan Fingleton and I’m thrilled to serve as one of the Committee Affairs Officers of the 10th Board! Caerus has done so much to make me feel right at home in Groningen, helping me connect with people, learn new skills, and have a great time. This year I am excited to help our association do the same for you by supporting our amazing committees and all the events we have in store this year.
Whether you're new to Caerus or a returning member, I’m here to ensure that your ideas, initiatives, and energy are given the space to bloom through our committees. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’ve got a cool idea or just want to chat about how to get involved. I am always open to hearing about what matters to you!

By working closely with our committees, I’ll ensure that our shared vision for Caerus and UCSRN comes to life.

Hi! I am Anouk and I am the External Affairs Officer of the 10th Caerus board! I am planning to focus partially on the acquisition, creating academic and social opportunities for our members, the merchandise, keeping a good bond with our current partners, and other things that cross my path.
