My name is Dahlia (right) and I am the Chair of the 5th Honours Board. The quality of education contributing to the Honours programme and the community aspect playing a role in this programme are very important to me. 

As the daughter of Kurdish immigrants, I have seen how unequal systems can affect communities. This taught me the value of persistence and strong community support. I hope to encourage more involvement and to build a more connected Honours Community.

My name is Shubh (middle) and I’m the Treasurer of the 5th Honours Board for 2025/2026. This year I’ll be managing the budget and making sure our resources go into events that are well-organised, engaging, and enjoyable for everyone.

Outside of studying and work, I spend a lot of time training and learning more about kinesiology. I also enjoy cycling around Utrecht, travelling with friends, and trying my hand at new dishes in the kitchen (with mixed results at times).

My name is Diana (left) and I am the Internal Affairs for this year’s Honours Board. I’m from Poland, but have also lived in Spain for a part of my life.

As the Internal Affairs, I will try to increase the amount of information about the Honours Programme that reaches first year students, as well as giving the Honours a more student-friendly public appearance. In addition to that, I will of course provide the Honours Board with help to improve event scheduling and all other tasks that we are going to undertake.

Hope you’re excited for the upcoming academic year, as it will surely be great!
