My time as the chair of ACE was a somewhat unplann

My time as the chair of ACE was a somewhat unplanned yet pleasant surprise, taking over from our old chair due to unforeseen circumstances meant that I was thrust into the heat of things rather unexpectedly. Nonetheless, getting to grips with the day to day running of a board is a highly collaborative experience, meaning that I never felt overwhelmed or out of my depth. A chief reason for me to join ACE in the first place was the prospect of not only getting to meet more people but also being responsible for organizing get-togethers and events where others could do the same. I have always been interested in the social aspects of academic life, as I believe they form an integral part of the enjoyment of the course, and organizing events such as karaoke nights and pub crawls with people who are not only my fellow board members, but also people I consider to be close friends meant that the work never felt like a chore, no meeting was boring, no event was stressful, and every hurdle could be overcome through collaboration with my peers. All in all, I would recommend the experience to anyone and everyone looking to not only flesh out any potential CVs, but also to help build their organizational and communicative skills, and even to people just looking to have a fun time!” -Sev

“I became Chair of LLACE in my first year in the

“I became Chair of LLACE in my first year in the English Language and Culture programme, which turned out to be a largely beneficial experience for me. It allowed me to become familiar with fellow students, professors, the organisation of on-campus events and the workings of Etcetera early on. Through leading the committee in the planning and executing of literature and language related events, I got the chance to work alongside some very diligent committee members and develop my own communication and leadership skills. Above all, it gave me good reason to keep up involvement in the social life of the programme and commitment to work outside of the study. I can highly recommend the position to anyone who enjoys taking charge, has an interest in hosting fun and interesting events related to language and literature, as well as anyone looking for an opportunity to become familiar with the community of the programme. Plus you get a sweater in a colour of your choice!” -Jeremy // Sounds like something you’re interested in? APPLY NOW! The link is in our bio! We’re looking forward to hearing from you! -Anne

Dear beloved Etceterists,⁣
⁣
We have set up a Discord server for you to banter with fellow Etcetera members over video, voice or text! In this unstable and difficult time with the coronavirus, we think it is extra important for you to stay connected to others (in spite of the social distancing!). Discord is a super easy way to connect with friends: you can play games together or share what song you’re listening to on Spotify, or just have a chat w/ others. Hopefully, this platform can serve as a nice place for you to keep in touch with us and other Etceterists (though we do miss our biweekly drinks…)⁣
⁣
All that’s left to do is to click on this link (and if you’re new to this, you can set up an account easily, plus it’s free!): https://discord.gg/fU9GR9n. You can also find the url easily through the link in our bio!

Dear members,⁣
⁣
Most of you will probably have seen the new announcements from the RIVM and the UvA regarding the Corona Virus. As a precaution the Cabinet has decided that it is better to avoid in-person lectures, seminars, and exams at all Universities and Hogescholen in Amsterdam. The UvA has decided to follow that notion and there will be no classes until the end of March (31-03-2020). ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Both ALPHA and ASVA have advised to cancel all events taking place in the month of March. We will follow this advice and would like to hereby sadly tell you that the events Etcetera and its committees have organised for the month of March will not be taking place. We understand if you were looking forward to these events but in order to keep everyone safe and healthy we decided this was the best option possible and hope you understand. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Make sure to keep an eye on your course's Canvas page for information regarding classes and exams. This is the page of the UvA where they provide any further information regarding the Corana virus and the measures that will be taken regarding classes and exams. ⁣
⁣
If you have any questions please let us know. ⁣
⁣
We hope you all stay healthy. ⁣
⁣
Kind regards, ⁣
⁣
The Board of Etcetera.
