Inkom committee

The Inkom committee is occupied with the promotion of Uros, the preparation of Uros activities, and the planning during the INKOM!

Of course, the committee tries to make Uros noticeable among all the other student (sports) associations. We like to activate as many people as possible to join the most fun sports association of Maastricht!

Because sport is very important Maastricht knows an overarching organization representing the interests of sports associations, called the MUSST. This organization organizes many meetings in which among others the Inkom is discussed. Next to that, the Inkom committee meets regularly to come up with fun activities, find mentors who lead a group of new students during the Inkom or find people to help in other ways. The committee starts early (around February), because then the first deadlines will be determined. The preparations do not ask for a lot of time, only during Inkom this committee is very active, but that is also a lot of fun!
