Scintilla

Hello Vonk readers, It feels like the academic year has just begun. However we are already in the second quartile and 2022 is coming to an end. Autumn is here already for a few months and every day it is getting colder and dark sooner, whereas the gas prices are rising through the ceiling. It is really important that you stay warm and positive while your bankaccount should suffice that last mentioned characteristic too. ...

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. After a long bus trip, they attended the constitution drink to congratulate the newly constituted board of Thor, share some drinks with the Thor members and enjoy a meal with the pedellen. Both Scintilla and Thor still love to share great stories about this legendary “Thoringcar”, you can read about it in an earlier Vonk article. ...

Every year, somewhere around September, our beautiful association Scintilla gets a new board. This year the 93rd board was charged at the 6th of September (nice). There is something special about this board, this year there are only four board members, the minimum amount according to our articles of association. This has not happened since the 84th board, but let’s not get into that. In this article the new board members of Scintilla will introduce themselves, what their functions entail, some fun facts and a picture so you know who to talk to.

I had been hitting the F5 button for a while by then, so my left index finger needed some well-deserved rest. I took my bicycle and biked as hard as I could for the Archives in the Vrijhof building to start my extremely exciting adventure! ...

Dear Vonk reader, 2021 has really flown by hasn’t it? Together we have gone through quite a lot though. We started this year with a curfew at night and a lockdown that did not seem to end. Luckily, it did end when the weather got better. Drinks were even allowed again and the pandemic almost seemed like it was ending. Sadly, as the weather got worse and new mutations of COVID rose up, things slowly had to close again. ...

On the 7th of September 2021, the 92nd board took the scepter of the 91st board of E.T.S.V. Scintilla. In this article they will introduce themselves and tell you all about their history and their goals this year. You get to know their motivation for doing a board year and their hobbies (besides being active in Scintilla committees). Of course they included some random fun-facts about themselves too! Their stories are accompanied with several pictures from their photo shoot. ...
