Dear members of the K.N.P.S.V.,

Every year, the Congress of the K.N.P.S.V. takes place during the Ascension weekend, and for this 85th edition, we as the Lustrum Congress Committee have the opportunity to go all out to celebrate the K.N.P.S.V.’s 25th Lustrum! We would like to invite all members to join us for a weekend filled with both educational and festive activities. We hope you are just as excited as we are!

My name is Leah, I’m 20 years old, and next year I will be starting my master’s degree. Together, Lois and I serve as the commissioners. We are responsible for organising the activities and parties surrounding the congress, as well as working on the promotional materials. I’m really looking forward to it and hope to make it a great congress! In my free time, I enjoy meeting up with friends, playing the piano, and training a lot for my first marathon :)

Hiii! I’m Lois, I’m 21 years old, and next year I’ll be starting my third year of Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences. Within the committee, Leah and I are the commissioners. From coming up with fun activities and parties to creating promotional materials, we make sure there is plenty to do and see throughout the congress. I’m really excited to be part of this and can’t wait to make it an unforgettable lustrum together with the rest of the committee! Outside of my studies, I love spending time with friends, taking lots of photos, and staying active. I really enjoy rowing and playing sports.

Hey hey, I’m Rafi! I’m 21 years old and am currently taking a gap year after completing my bachelor’s degree in Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences. I’m happy to be strengthening the LuCoCo as treasurer II. I’m looking forward to organising an amazing lustrum congress and gala while keeping the finances in order. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, baking, and going for walks.

Hi, I’m Dimas. I’m 22 years old and have just started the BPS master’s programme in Leiden. For the coming years, I will take on the role of treasurer I for this wonderful committee. Together with Rafi, I will make sure that the finances remain in order and that we can put together a great lustrum congress. This will be my first K.N.P.S.V. committee, although I am also active within L.P.S.V. „Aesculapius”. Outside of my studies, I enjoy exercising, watching films, cooking and baking, and spending time with friends.

Hi! I’m Daphne, I’m 20 years old. I’m almost finished with my bachelor’s degree, and next year I’ll be taking a minor in Pharmacy. As secretary, I am responsible for taking the minutes and maintaining contact with the speakers for the symposium. I’m really looking forward to organising a wonderful congress together with the rest of the committee! In my free time, I love photography and travelling, and preferably combining the two.

Last but not least, it’s my turn. My name is Mac, I’m 21 years old, and next year I’ll be starting my third year of the bachelor’s programme in Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences. As president, I ensure that everything runs smoothly within the committee and that our meetings remain well organised. Together with this lovely committee, we will make sure that this congress becomes an unforgettable one! In my free time, I enjoy taking photos, listening to music, meeting up with friends, and trying to pick up a book again every once in a while.

On behalf of the 85th Congress Committee of the K.N.P.S.V.,
