EASTERN EUROPEAN STUDENTS ASSOCIATION

ABOUT US

The Eastern European Students Association is an official student association recognised by the Erasmus University in Rotterdam. Our main goals are to unite all the different Eastern European cultures and integrate them into the Dutch society. We have members from all over Eastern Europe as well as members from outside Eastern Europe that are simply interested in our cultures. We exist out of 5 committees: Marketing, Career, Social, City Trips and Creative.


By providing our members with exceptional events and a community, we’ve been able to grow substantially throughout the years. Take a look through our site to learn more about what we have to offer.

PRESIDENT

 Hello, my name is Noi Hajba, a second year IBCoM student from Hungary 🇭🇺:)
Last year I started out as an active member in EESA which later on inspired me to apply for a board position.

I am honored to be this year’s President. My tasks include overseeing the association so that everything runs smoothly, taking care of formalities, and maintaining the internal integrity of the association.

As a board member i will also be chairing the social committee with Szymon, our Treasurer. Be sure to keep track of all the events we’re planning for you guys!

Besides that, my favorite activities include sleeping, binge watching shows and going out with friends:)

VICE- PRESIDENT

Hey! My name is Paul Chis, and I am currently IBA year 3.

My EESA journey started last year, when I joined both the Career Committe 🧳 and Social Committe 🎉. I helped organise many successful and fun events, among which discussions with managers from consulting & marketing, as well as a balkan party and pub crawl.

Last year at EESA I developed both personally and professionally so I decided to continue this year. By networking at EESA, I obtained my current internship at a great Dutch company in Data & Visualisation. If you join, this may happen to you as well, so be aware 😊

Next year I will coordinate the Career Committee, and we will focus on organising events aimed at discovering career paths, CVs, finding internships and networking 🕶.
Don’t worry if this sounds too serious. Being an active member means you’ll have the opportunity to participate in many city Trip(s!), Parties and Creative events.

A little about me: I enjoy travelling, maintaining a life-work balance, sports, board games as well as cooking (more the eating part to be honest).

EXTERNAL RELATIONS OFFICER

Hi! My name is Lara, I'm from Macedonia🇲🇰 and I am currently in my second year of bachelor studies, pursuing the program IBCoM.

📚 During my first year of university I made an effort to go to many events organized by different associations, however at the end EESA had the most impact on me which is why this year I decided to apply to be part of the board.

👥️️Fortunately, I am lucky enough to be this year's External Relations Officer which means that my tasks include keeping ahead of all external communication for things such as partnerships, sponsorhips or collaboratins. As the main point of contact, my goal is to expand EESA's network and create a versatile platform.

🎨Being part of the board, means that you have the duty of overseeing a committee. This year I will be managing the 🌟new🌟 creative committe, which will include various workshops and events. Keep an eye out for any future events.. 👀

🌊A little bit more about me is that my favorite place to be is by the sea and some of my favorite ways to relax are books, a nice cup of coffee, and driving at night with good music.
