De Chemische Binding

Dear prospective first year,

You have found yourself on the right website under the right tab! On this page we introduce the ICE committee, the committee that organizes your introduction period! You will see these people during the first few days quite a bit, and also for the rest of the year during our events. They are always there to answer your questions and concerns, and can show you around as well. If you are interested in the other people behind the events and the association, you can look at the Board CB tab. We look forward to meeting you at the end of August!

Who are the mysterious people organising the FID and the camp? Stay tuned to find out...

Mathilde de Ronde 

Meet Mathilde, our endlessly enthusiastic chair, who always seems to be doing a thousand things at once. Whether she is busy organizing activities, dancing at a party or working on a creative project, she is always keeping herself busy. When she has the time, she even enjoys making her own clothes, as if shopping itself is not hard enough. On quieter days, you can find Mathilde listening to some true-crime podcasts or catching up on some well-deserved sleep. Whatever is going on, chances are Mathilde is already involved and making it more fun!

Lieke Klaassen 

Meet Lieke, our beloved seccie and the person making sure every meeting ends with a perfect set of minutes and plenty of great suggestions. Outside of studying chemistry, you'll usually find her spending time with friends or with her headphones on listening to music. She's a huge Harry Styles fan and still isn't over seeing him live, but she also enjoys making music herself by playing the guitar. So whether she's bringing new ideas to the table, talking about music, or just enjoying an evening with friends or housemates, Lieke is always great company. 

Henk Visser 

Meet Henk, the one who looks after all our money, our talented treasurer! Luckily for you, the committee as a whole has to decide where to spend the money; otherwise a larger share would have gone to beer and snacks. As he is always happy to crack open a cold one! Besides studying chemistry and partying, our Frisian also spends his time in the gym or on the hockey field, keeping his body in shape! But most importantly, if you’re looking for someone to chat and hang out with, Henk is the one to ask!

Hidde Mak 

​​​​​​​Meet Hidde, our activities coordinator and the one and only committee member who can actually call Groningen home. When he isn’t studying chemistry, you’ll probably find him either at the gym, on a sports field, or convincing himself in the gym that one more workout will make up for one more beer:). Besides sports, Hidde spends a lot of his free time gaming, with Pokémon being his all time favourite. But like many Dutch students, he works a lot of shifts as an “Appiestrijder”. So if you're looking for someone to talk about sports, challenge you to a Pokémon battle, or simply grab a drink with (although maybe don't try to keep up), Hidde is your guy!

Tobias Lefeber

​​​​​​​Meet Tobias, our FID coordinator and one of the most reliable people in the committee. Originally from Eindhoven, Tobias is a bit of a nerd in the best possible way. He has been playing the clarinet for ten years and is currently part of two orchestras, but his real passion might be mathematics. This summer he is going to his tenth summer camp with 'Vierkant voor Wiskunde', and he has even won several national mathematics competitions. When he isn't solving some ridiculously difficult maths problem, Tobias enjoys playing board games with friends or going scuba diving, for which he even has his own diving certificate! And while the rest of us may enjoy a drink together after a long day, Tobias will happily stick to something non-alcoholic. You can always count on Tobias to keep things running smoothly!
