This handbook is a joined effort by the Student Union and International Office, and is intended as a guide for students who are active as a board or committee member of an association at the University of Twente. In this document you will find information that will help you when you are trying to start an (international) association, or running an association or committee.

The University of Twente and we as the Student Union value students taking part in and organizing extra-curricular activities, or being active. The International Office, particularly values efforts that are organized by international students for international students.  All these parties try to offer help and support to stimulate student activism. This document gives a summation of all the aspects you can expect to encounter when active on a board or committee, and all the ways in which the above mentioned parties can help you.

The document features contact information for many parties, but as this information is subject to frequent change you may find it outdated. In that case you can visit the Student Union website for more up to date information on associations, or Google search for the contact information of university departments and other organizations.

All in all, we hope this document will help you set you on your way of having a great time while enhancing the student life of the University of Twente!
