Nienke Luijckx is the new student assessor for the Executive Board

Nienke Luijckx will join the Executive Board as a student assessor in September. In this role, she will participate in the weekly meetings, consultations with faculty boards and between the Executive Board and the deans.

To advise the university management effectively on topics such as education, the assessor is expected to be closely connected with students, including the student assessors at the faculty level, students in the University Council, and student organisations.

Experience
Luijckx is currently the student assessor on the Faculty Board of Social Sciences, a position she also held in the previous academic year. Luijckx helped the student administrators of the Social Sciences study associations reduce their workload, among other things.

Previously, she was a board member and chair of the National Action Committee for Secondary School Students (LAKS) and a member of the advisory board at Nuffic, the Dutch organisation for internationalisation in education. Luijckx is studying Sociology and has completed a propaedeutic programme in Business Administration at Windesheim University of Applied Sciences.

In a message on the Intranet, Luijckx says: ‘Thanks to my experience as a student assessor at FSW, I know how the student perspective can contribute to good governance, in which there is room for different insights. I am therefore very pleased to advise the Executive Board in the coming year. I want to work towards a university that is and remains inclusive, especially in these times of budget cuts and global tensions.'

Nienke Luijckx will succeed Niels Vreeswijk, the student assessor to the Executive Board this academic year.
