Hiiii, we are the ICC. We will organize some fun intercultural events this year. Here’s an introduction of each of our members from each other’s perspective:

First up, we have Pilvi. Pilvi is Finnish for cloud, but this is not fully appropriate because she’s the sunshine of our committee. P.s. she’s the secretary.

Next up is our lovely promotion person Teodora, or as we like to call her, Teddy! Teddy is a very accurate name for her, as she brings that teddy bear energy with her to every meeting. Teddy can always be seen smiling and spreading her positive energy and ideas.

Our acquisition is jolly Jojo. You have to be ready for anything around Jojo, cause you never know his next move (and I don't think he knows his next move either). Jojo also brings a lot of joy to our meetings by making us all laugh.

Our treasurer is Hannah! Hannah is a real-life representation of the renaissance ideal. Her interests strain in all directions and you can always get inspired by her colourful experiences and sublime taste for music and art.

Our external affairs is Jesse! Jesse is our committee's wine expert (snob), always rocking up to the meetings late with a carefully selected bottle of wine.

We welcome our Chair to the scene! Everybody, give it up for... Drumroll CHLOEEEE

Chloe is by far the biggest goofball of our merry little bunch. You never really know where you have her as she is either fully locked in or drifting somewhere between the inner and outer atmosphere, which she often proves by forgetting the names of her committee members (only Jojo). She has an impeccable humor and always lifts the mood, so shoot a joke her way and she's almost always guaranteed to return a laugh or witty comment.

The Intercultural committee of VIP organizes four activities every year with the aim to integrate Dutch and international students. The committee also consist of as many Dutch students as internationals. The members are free to decide what activity to organize as long as the attendees get the chance to come in contact with each other. In past years there have been a whisky tasting, a cocktail making workshop, and a chocolate fondue dinner.
