Hi! I'm Yolente Prins and I’m happy to be this years Chair of the First Year Committee of VIP. I'm 18 years old, just finished high school, and I'm in the first year of the English track. I’m from Apeldoorn, where I lived with my parents and older brother, but now I live in Groningen. I like to play hockey and the piano and in my free time I love to be with my friends. We mostly yap during our dinners or over a cup of tea, and we obviously go out a lot where we love to get everyone in the mood to dance. 
I like hosting committee nights and come up with fun ideas for next FYC events. I'm really happy with this all-girl dutch & international committee and I’m also very excited to host events and be an active member within Vip!
Looking forward to see you all at our next events :)

I’m so excited to organize the most fun events for my fellow first years and become an active member within VIP. Hopefully see you soon! :)

The first year committee is one of the youngest committees of VIP and consists of six first year students. The committee organizes activities for first year students so that they will be able to get to know each other better. The committee will think of creative new activities. Last year there was a pubquiz, game night and a lunch. The first year committee will come in contact with the owners of the locations and will do all the preperation for the activities.
