Lustrum IV: Transformative

Dear members,

The academic year of 2025-2026 S.A. Astatine celebrates its 4th Lustrum with the theme: Transformative. Every 5 years, Astatine celebrates its lustrum, marking a significant milestone for our association. This is paired with extraordinary activities, this time with a new transformative twist. Every lustrum adds a new chapter to Astatine’s history, for example by adding a new chorus to our favourite song. We hope to see you all at the wonderful activities organised for the Lustrum throughout the year and we are looking forward to the many memories created.

Op de hoogste,

The lustrum committee

 

 

Our New CCP

We are proud to announce that we now have a second Confidential Contact Person (CCP) at Astatine, Lieke Hendriks! She is trained in peer listening and will not share anything you tell her in confidence. Lieke can support you if you are struggling with something, big or small. Be that through advice, support in finding a solution or by presenting a listening ear.

If you want to contact a CCP outside of Astatine you can find them here: https://www.utwente.nl/en/ces/sacc/confidential-contact-persons/

Hi everybody!
My name is Lieke. I am 22 years old and currently in my third year of Advanced Technology. In my free time, I love doing sports and reading. Additionally, I often get together with my friends. They describe me as energetic, positive, compassionate and a good listener. That is exactly why I wanted to become the second CCP (Confidential Contact Person) for Astatine. As a CCP, I am always here to offer a listening ear whenever you need one. Whether you are experiencing stress, anxiety or a small bump in your studies, please know that you can always reach out for a chat.
Feel free to contact me via my email or phone number:
