Committees

At H.V. Ockham, our committees are the pulsating heart of our association. These dedicated groups of Honours students and alumni are the driving force behind our success. With each committee focused on a specific area of our operations, they work tirelessly to ensure that every aspect of our association is running smoothly and efficiently. Whether it's the activities committee fostering a strong sense of belonging among our members, the finance committee overseeing our budget, or the external affairs committee helping our members with professional growth and career opportunities, each committee plays a vital role in propelling our association forward. Their unwavering passion, expertise, and collaborative spirit are the lifeblood that fuels our growth, making our committees the cornerstone of our thriving community.

ACCIE

Regardless what DriCie might tell you, the ACCIE is the most important committee of H.V. Ockham ;). We are responsible for organising all kinds of fun activities and events. And by "all kinds", we mean ALL KINDS of activities. In previous years, our activities ranged from pole-dancing workshops, pooling to political discussion nights.

AcquisiCie

The AcquisiCie is the External Affairs Committee responsible for collaborating with companies. As an AcquisiCie member you are vital in helping the association get sponsorship income to keep the association running and to enable other committees to organise the many amazing events. If you want to develop your professional skills — such as communication and negotiation — expand your professional network, and boost your CV, AcqusiCie is the committee for you! You are especially well-suited for this committee if you are doing the Entrepreneurship Track. However, this is not a requirement and students from every track are welcome here. The committee focusses on both sponsorship acquisition and PR (branding & LinkedIn). The current time investment is about 2 hours per week. Apply today by sending an email to extern@hv-ockham.nl.

BataCie

The BataCie is the committee you should join if you are interested in sports and networking! The BataCie is responsible for organizing Ockham's participation in the annual Batavierenrace. For this purpose, it works closely together with other Honours associations from the Dutch Honours Community. So get your running shoes on and join this committee now!

DriCie

If you ask any Ockham member what the most important committee is, we can guarantee you they will say "DriCie". The DriCie, aka the Drinks committee, is responsible for organising drinks within Ockham. One example is the legendary Second Monday of the Month Drink, or more notoriously knows as "SMOTMD". Grab a cold beer and join this committee in organising fun drinking activities for your fellow Ockham Members!

ExpediCie

The ExpediCie is the committee responsible for the yearly trip abroad. Thus, this is your chance to decide where you want to spend a little vacation with your fellow Ockham members. Additionally, you should bring in some couponing skills as we have some left from last year. ExpediCie allows you to create and participate in a great international trip to your dream location.

GalaCie

The GalaCie is a committee that works year-round towards organising Ockham’s biggest event. If you join this committee, you will organise the annual Ockham Gala! If party-planning is your expertise, put your dancing shoes on and join this committee now!

PubliCie

The PubliCie (Publications Committee) is the committee that creates the beautiful promotion materials for all activities organised by the various committees of Ockham. Additionally, the committee helps out the secretary by writing fun news articles and creating content for the newsletter. The PubliCie meets up twice a month to divide tasks and discuss progress. If you have a knack for writing or a passion for (bad) PhotoShop, do not hesitate to contact us - we are always looking for more creative minds!

SympCie

The SympCie is responsible for the plenary sessions as well as all educational activities. The committee is a great way to get more involved in the Honours programme, since you will set-up the plenary session together with fellow Ockham students in collaboration with the Honours Office. Since some plenary sessions involve lectures or workshops of our teachers at the University of Twente, you will have personal contact with them which allows you to increase your network here at the university!
