Scintilla

Despite the rewards that those attending the General Meetings (GM) receive: exclusive insider-information about how the association is being run and how the money is being spent, the chance to decide on important policies through participating in votes - we understand that you might not have the time or enthusiasm to attend these often overextending (and in all honesty mostly boring) meetings. The last GM on the 8th of March presented the proposed changes to the By-laws and the official Articles of the Association; this article will expand on what these are and why they needed changing, so keep reading! ...

SKItilla went on a trip again for the first time in a few years to the wonderful Alpe d’Huez. 15 students enjoyed a wonderful trip from which most came back in approximately the same state.

Four years ago, on a fateful October day, a delegation of Scintillianen set foot in Eindhoven to bring a visit to our sister association: e.t.s.v. Thor.
