The Board

USA Nijmegen is run by a board (XXIInd) consisting of the following three people:

Function: Chair

Hello to all members of USA Nijmegen!

Let me introduce myself. My name is Etienne Logger and I’ll be your chair for the remainder of this semster. About 1.5 years ago, I chose to study American Studies because I am really interested in American history and an eager follower of US politics. There is no other political arena like the one in the United States, which I jokingly call the greatest reality show on tv.

In my free time I enjoy to spend quality time with my friends and family. Every now and again I also like to play a game of tennis on the great courts of the Radboud sportscenter, when the dutch weather is favorable of course. To unwind from all the classes and lectures I enjoy a good historical biopic. Mostly of prominent American figures.

I’ve been a member of USA Nijmegen for about 1.5 years and have thoroughly enjoyed the events that the association hosts. My favorite so far has been the annual Thanksgiving dinner event. It’s my favorite American holiday and love the idea behind it of giving thanks and enjoying a lovely dinner together with friends and family. Last November I was fortunate enough to help organize the annual Thanksgiving dinner event, which was a wonderfull night where myself and other members enjoyed a delicious catered dinner.

I really feel at home at USA Nijmegen. I feel like I belong to an amazing social group of people. As chair, I’ll therefore dedicate myself to help out my fellow board members plan and host many more wonderfull events where like minded American enthusiasts can come together to socialize and enjoy student life away from the lecture halls.

I hope to see you all at one of our upcoming events, so stay tuned for updates on any of the USA Nijmegen socials!

Kind regards,

Etienne Logger

Function: Secretary

Hello everyone! I’m Luca Zwanenburg and currently serving as the Secretary of the XXIInd Board at USA Nijmegen. I have lived for the majority of my life in Eindhoven, however I moved a few years ago to one of the towns next to Eindhoven called Geldrop. I am 21 years old and I am in my second-year of American Studies. During my time off I like to listen to music and play videogames.

Last year I was part of Travel Committee, where I among other things helped plan our weekend trip that year. Throughout my first year I was an active member as I went to most of the events that were hosted last year. I have always enjoyed my time with USA as I met a lot of new people and made friends who I (hopefully) will be friends with for a long time.

As Secretary, you can expect to hear from me through text messages, emails, updates, and Instagram posts. My main responsibility is handling the administrative aspects of our association. If you have any questions about your membership, upcoming events, or anything related to the association, feel free to drop us an email at usanijmegen@gmail.com, and I’ll be more than happy to assist you. As the contact person for the association, I’m looking forward to connecting with many of you throughout the year and hopefully we’ll see you at all the fun events we have planned!

Function: Treasurer

Hi there! My name is Farah, and I am the Treasurer of the XXIInd Board of USA Nijmegen! I am 22 years old and originally from Moordrecht, a small town located between Rotterdam and Gouda. Last year, I was lucky enough to find a room in Nijmegen and really enjoy living here! I’m a second-year student majoring in American Studies. When I’m not studying or working, I like to read, watch movies, go outside, or hang out with my friends.

Last year, I joined USA Nijmegen, which was one of the best choices I’ve ever made. I became part of the Activity Committee (AcCo) and the First Years Committee (FiCo). As a member of the AcCo, I helped organize events such as the Thanksgiving dinner. These events were surely the highlights of last year! During my time in the FiCo, I helped with the student for a day. Being part of the XXIInd Board was the right next step within USA Nijmegen.

As Treasurer, I am responsible for all finances and will make sure that all the money is going where it’s supposed to go. Mainly, I will be handling the contributions and the budgets for the committees. You can send me an email at treasurerusa@gmail.com. Most importantly, I’m looking forward to seeing all of you at our events! :)

See you soon, Farah
