Year representation – We are also looking for people for the: Year representation PW 1, 2 and 3, year
representation AOLB 1,2, 3 and 4 and year representation of the master tracks. As a member of the
year representation, you actually represent your year group. With your year representation, you are
the link between students and teachers. Because you introduce yourself at the beginning of each
block, both students and teachers know who is in the year representation and who they can address.
This is in case there are problems, but also when things are going well. Furthermore, you make
reports of each course, for which you ask fellow students for their feedback and speak with the
teachers. The reports are all saved and carried over to the next year, so that education can actually
be improved. Do you enjoy being actively involved in improving education? Then the year
representation is really something for you!
As a YR member you are an active member, you will also receive the same benefits as committee
members. The YRs consist of 2 to 6 people.

annually arrange a goodie for first year students and a coupon book for the introduction period! In
addition, this structure ensures nice discounts on the digital ODIOM discount card all year round.
Would you like to make connections with all sorts of companies and arrange great discounts for
fellow members? Then the Structure Acquisition is perfect for you!

Structure Alumni – Are you already graduated, but do you still want to stay involved with ODIOM and
stay in touch with students and fellow alumni? Then sign up for the Structure Alumni! You can join
the structure throughout the year and you are free to stop whenever you want. The Structure Alumni
organizes an annual activity for alumni. This year this is an alumni reunion in the lustrum week! The
structure also organizes annual speed dating with alumni, where students can learn more about what
kind of work alumni do. In short, the perfect way to be active at ODIOM next to your work!

LGBTIQ+, nationality and mobility. This structure advises the board and the committees on this. Do
you find inclusion and diversity important and interesting? Sign up for the Structure Inclusion!
