How to become an active member

Would you like to:

• expand your network within the University?
• get to know the UG better as an organization?
• develop organizational skills?
• gain organizational sensitivity/feeling for the UG politics?
• learn from other young professionals?
• bring knowledge from the organization to the young employees?
• gain variation in your work?
• gain new social contacts?
• and help us organize events?

Then maybe you’d like to become an active member!

Procedure

We have, if necessary, two periods each year when we issue a call for new active members: September and March. For the September 2025 call, we are looking for two new active members.

Do you want to know a bit more? Please contact us via young@rug.nl!

Interested in becoming an active member? Then let us know before 10 October by sending an e-mail with a short motivation to young rug.nl!

Faculties and services

YoungRUG aims to select a diverse group of active members. A potential new active member from a faculty/service not yet represented by a current active member, may be given preference over a candidate from an already represented faculty/service. Right now we do not have active members from the following:

• Faculty of Economics and Business
• Faculty of Religion, Culture and Society
• Faculty of Spatial Sciences
• Faculty of Philosophy
• Campus Fryslân
• University College
• University of Groningen Library

It is strongly recommended that a new active member discusses their involvement with YoungRUG with their manager to obtain official approval.
