Koen Oude Avenhuis

Chairman

Hello everyone! It is my pleasure to introduce myself: my name is Koen Oude Avenhuis and I am the chairman of the EBF for the year 2022-2023!

I am currently 22 years old and  I am in the last phase of my Bachelor's degree in business administration. I grew up in Almelo, a city located in the region of Twente in the eastern part of the Netherlands. I have been studying in Groningen for four years now and have made many new friends and gained a lot of experiences. Some of the experiences I had are being part of the activity committee and the ESR Spring Committee at the EBF. It was through this that I became very involved with the EBF and I am very passionate and excited about doing a board year at the EBF this year. In my spare time I like to hang out with friends, listen to music, go to the gym and play guitar.

I think that the EBF can play a significant role in broadening the social network of Economics and Business students as well as offer them possibilities to gain experiences in various fields through formal and informal events.

Personally, I hope that this year I can ensure that the EBF is a place for all students to enrich their social lives and expand their knowledge and skills. In the function of Chairman, I hope to further develop my leadership skills and to gain experience in public speaking and in managing a team.

I am really looking forward to everything that will take place this year and I hope to meet all of you at the Faculty of Economics and Business or at one of the several activities the EBF is organizing!
