About me
Hi everyone!
My name is Bart Wessels, and I’m the Commercial Relations Officer of the 104th Sefa Board for the upcoming year. I met Sefa towards the end of my student life. I was immediately drawn in by the great energy, the welcoming community, the amazing events, and the drinking. I’ve been studying at the University of Amsterdam for the past four years, which has made me quite familiar with both the university environment and its people. Just before officially joining the board, I completed my Master’s in International Business, meaning that I’m now officially graduated!
In the past, I also worked as a Student Information Officer for the UvA, where I promoted my studies across the province. Throughout my time at university, I often saw Sefa’s events from the outside and always wondered what it would be like to help organize them behind the scenes, and now I get to do just that!
Outside of my studies, I love spending time with friends, staying active at the gym, and most of all, traveling. My passion for exploring new places and meeting people really grew during my exchange to Calgary, Canada, which was an unforgettable experience. I’m incredibly excited for the year ahead, meeting new people, building great collaborations, and creating lasting memories together.
