How to become an active member

Would you like to:

• expand your network within the university?
• get to know the UG better as an organization?
• develop organizational skills?
• gain organizational sensitivity/feeling for the UG politics?
• learn from other young professionals?
• bring knowledge from the organization to the young employees?
• gain variation in your work?
• gain new social contacts?

Then maybe you’d like to become an active member!

Procedure

We have, if necessary, two periods each year when we issue a call for new active members: September and March. For the September 2024 round, we are looking for two new active members.

Are you interested in becoming an active member? Then join our information session on 26 September 2024, from 4.30 to 5 p.m. at the Energy Academy:

Are you certain (before or after attending the information session) that you want to become an active member? Great! Please express your interest by writing a short motivation text and emailing it to young@rug.nl by 8 October 2024. We will schedule an meeting with you within 2 weeks afterwards to get to know you.

Faculties and services

YoungRUG aims to select a diverse group of active members. A potential new active member from a faculty/service not yet represented by a current active member, may be given preference over a candidate from an already represented faculty/service. Right now we do not have active members from the following:

• Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences
• Faculty of Economics and Business
• Faculty of Religion, Culture and Society
• Faculty of Spatial Sciences
• Faculty of Philosophy
• Campus Fryslân
• University College
• University of Groningen Library
• Center for Information Technology

It is strongly recommended that a new active member discusses their involvement with YoungRUG with their manager to obtain official approval.
