Since the beginning of this academic year, Ola and Lucas, have assumed their new position as Student Members of the International Studies Programme Board, which is responsible for the day to day running of International Studies. They will represent the opinions and needs of the student body in discussions on the design of the programme, the implementation of changes, and much more. Who are they and how can you get in touch? We have asked them to introduce themselves.
Dr. Sarita Koendjbiharie, lecturer at our International Studies programme, has won a Give-and-Take trophy by La Red, a network science consultancy firm. The trophy is awarded to the individuals who have the most valuable social capital and the willingness to support others with their network.
We are pleased to introduce Nathaniël Linssen (he/him), who joined the university library team in December 2022 as the Subject Librarian for International Studies, International Relations, LUC, and Law.
On Friday morning December 1st we will award the First year diplomas to those second year students who passed all their courses during the first year of their studies, and thus received the 60 curricular credits within one year.
As the deadline for choosing a region of study dwells on International Studies Students, on November 3rd, the yearly Area Fair was held. Students could walk around the Schouwburgstraat building as presentations, stands filled with snacks from the area, and workshops were being offered.
LUGO, the green office of Leiden University recently started the transformation of the Schouwburgstraat garden.
We have reached the halfway mark of the first semester. Our first-year students are in the process of choosing their area and their language specialization. On 3 November we held our Area Fair and we can look back on a very successful event.
If you are a second or third year International Studies student who enjoys talking to others about your programme, we have a great opportunity for you.
