Preface Dear student, Every year TeMa provides a variety of both fun and interesting activities for her members, and this year is certainly no exception. The TeMa Conference and Inhousetour are perfect moments to show yourself to potential employers. The social activities like our annual Christmas Dinner and the Mid-Year Party are ideal opportunities to socialize with other members. These and many other activities would not exist without active members, that is why also this year TeMa is looking for enthusiastic active members! Developing your skills related to cooperation, organizing and planning can only be achieved through practical experience. Becoming a member of a committee offers the opportunity for this. In addition, a committee year offers a lot of fun with your fellow committee members and the other members of the association. Becoming an active member at TeMa also gives you the unique opportunity to get in touch with your fellow students in these unusual corona times. As a sign of appreciation to all the active members, the Board organizes an Active Members Weekend every year and three other activities to thank all active members for their efforts. This flyer provides you with all the information about the committees and becoming an active member. If you still have questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards, Tom, Niek and Douwe TeMa Board 2020-2021 internalrelations@temagroningen.nl 06 - 83545044

Activity Committee The Activity Committee organizes two social activities which are spread over the year. the first activity is the Christmas Dinner and will take place before the Christmas holiday. when this is done the preparations of the Batavierenrace will start. The Batavierenrace is the world’s largest relay race in which TeMa also participates with a team every year. Moreover, the race is completely organized by students.

Career Committee Like the name suggests, this committee focuses entirely on career activities. From the beginning, the committee will work towards their own highlight: the Inhousetour. The Inhousetour consists of inhousedays at several companies. During an inhouseday companies are visited in order to get to know more about them. Often this will happen through presentations, a guided tour through the company and by making cases. Thanks to this, you and the participants come in close contact with companies that could be your future employers. Besides finding facinating companies, the committee is also responsible for the program of the whole trip, including an overnight stay and transportation. The committee consists of five members with the functions chairman, secretary and treasurer. Two other committee members will fullfill the acquisition and day coordination functions together.

Social Committee The Social Committee organises the Monthly Socials of TeMa. For some of these socials, the committee has to make up crazy themes, decorate the bar and provide special deals for drinks. Additionally, two times a year the committee has to think of an extra activity before or during the social, to make it even more fun to join the social. TeMa has a history of great themes, such as ‘Tropical Night’, ‘TeMa Olympics’ and a ‘Mexico Social’. Upcoming socials will be held at Borrelcafé Jut & Jul. Next to the Monthly Socials, the committee is also responsible for organizing two other activities: The Midyear Party and the Dies, which is the yearly anniversary of TeMa. At the Midyear Party, we celebrate the beginning of the new semester, but maybe even more that we made it through the first one. The Social Committee consists of at least 3 members, with the functions chairman, secretary, treasurer and promotion officer.

Introduction Committee The Introduction Committee will be responsible for the introduction activities in the first weeks of the next study year 2021-2022. First of all, the responsibility of the Introduction Committee will be organising three introduction activities for all different target groups of TeMa. The idea of these activities is that students of the different target groups first have a separate program to get to know their fellow students, and after that all the different target groups come together for a nice social for all TeMa members to start the new study year! In addition, this committee is responsible for a Promotion Day at the beginning of the study year. In this way, you try to give the new students the best welcome they could wish for. It is your responsibility to make sure the students are getting to know both each other and the association in a fun and relaxed way. Would you like to help the new students at the university to feel welcome at TeMa? Then apply for the Introduction Committee! The committee consists of at least three members with the functions chairman, secretary, treasurer and day coordinator.

Conference Committee The Conference Committee has the opportunity to organise the yearly Conference of TeMa. It is a task with a lot of responsibility since the Conference is TeMa’s largest event in terms of participants. The Conference includes workshops and masterclasses given by companies. The process of organizing a conference starts with coming up with an interesting theme. After that the committee starts contacting companies in order to ask them if they want to participate in the Conference. When enough companies are contracted, the committee has to select and book a suitable location for the Conference. Last years the Conference took place at an external location. It is a challenge for the new Conference Committee to contract enough partners to make it possible to book an external location again. Organizing the Conference does not only include contracting companies, it also includes arranging a lunch and a social for the participants. The Conference Committee will embody five members with the functions chairman, secretary, treasurer, acquisition officer and day coordinator.

A word of an active member My name is Ruurd Dobber and last year I had the huge honour of being the chairman of the International Committee. After choosing the Technologymanagement track I immediately signed up for TeMa. First I was part of the Internatinoal Study Project Committee who organised a trip to Krakow and a year later I joined the International Committee. In hindsight I regret not applying for a committee as soon as I joined, because it has been two amazing years. Together with three wonderful committee members I organized two International Activities througout the year. If you’re having doubts about doing a committee year, feel free to speak to one of the active members. Without fail, they’ll tell you that they’d become an active member again in a heartbeat. Clearly, becoming active is not only fun and informative but also addicting, no other association is as cosy and fun as TeMa. I hope this booklet includes a committee that speaks to you. I look forward to potentially congratulating you when the new committees are announced! Ruurd Dobber, Chairman International Committee 2018-2019
