Student Assessor

The student assessor for the academic year 2025/2026 is Maya Motzkau. As Student Assessor, Maya works as an advisor to the Faculty Board.

As the new Student Assessor, she serves as the link between the student community and the Faculty Board of Campus Fryslan. In this role, she works as an advisor to the Faculty Board which includes the Dean (Tjalling Halbertsma), the Vice Dean and Educational Director (Indira van der Zande), the Managing Director (Piet Bouma), as well as the secretaries Paula Schuit and Jane O’Keefe.

She represents the students’ perspectives by communicating the needs, challenges and wishes of students during weekly Board Meetings and also contributing to policymaking and other student related matters.
In addition to the Faculty Board’s responsibilities, she plays a key role in communicating decisions, strategies and policies back to student bodies and the wider student community.

She also participates in all formal and informal meetings where the Faculty Board is expected to be present, or where the insight of a student assessor on student affairs and/or educational policy is essential. She also collaborates with multiple other bodies, including the study association, programme directors or educational policy advisors.

Beyond the faculty role, as the student assessor, Maya is part of the Committee of Assessors (CvA), a group composed of student assessors from all faculties of RUG who meet weekly to discuss university’s related topics and to keep each other informed. Next to this, she is part of various working groups and she organises several elections within the faculty such as awards and programme committees.

You can always approach her in person or via email with any questions!
