WHAT DOES ESN STAND FOR? Now that you have opened this magazine, you might be wondering - what is ESN? ESN stands for Erasmus Student Network, a non-profit international student organisation that aims to support international students. Our mission is to represent international students, thus providing opportunities for cultural understanding and selfdevelopment under the principle of Students Helping Students. ESN Utrecht is one of the many lovely local sections of ESN. At ESN Utrecht, you can meet people from all around the world and make friends for a lifetime. We organise activities suited for everyone's interest; charity- and career events, parties, pub quizzes, day and weekend trips, sports activities and a Dutch Language Course. Furthermore, ESN Utrecht runs a blog with all the fun updates you need to know as an international student in the Netherlands. Behind the scenes, there are eleven committees made up of enthusiastic committee members who make all of these events happen. The eleven committees are the Activities Committee, Archive Committee, Career Committee, Culture Committee, Internal Events Committee, Introduction committee, Journalism Committee, Party Committee, Promo Committee, Pub Quiz Committee, and the Social Inclusion Committee. Are you excited to join? You can do so by purchasing an ESNcard, a membership card of ESN. An ESNcard costs only €6 and gives you the opportunity to participate in all events that ESN Utrecht organises. With an ESNcard you can also enjoy many great discounts at our partners in and outside of Utrecht. You can buy your ESNcard in our online ticketshop. Once the order is complete, you will be able to pick your card up at the office of ESN Utrecht. The address is Princetonplein 9, 3584 CC Utrecht, located at the Utrecht Science Park. PAGE 5
