18 committee information 2020-2021Social activities
When actively involved in the FSR by joining a committee, you also get the chance to get to
know your fellow active members.
Since we understand that you are busy with your Master or Bachelor, we do not have weekly
drinks. But still, no one can resist a good dinner and drink every now and then. That’s why we
organise several drinks, active members days and dinners throughout the year.
On top of that, an active members weekend is organised every year, with a destination that
remains secret until you get on the airplane. Believe us if we tell you that last year’s weekend
in Warschau was unforgettable.
Besides all the fun activities, we also provide trainings exclusively for you as an active member,
such as an interview skills training.
Additionally, we offer the possibility to become an alumnus and remain in touch with the
association. This way you still get to enjoy drinks and you can still reunite with your fellow
committee members.
Please, come by our office at H16-25 if you would like to know more about becoming active at
the FSR. We are happy to help you out!
