Committees

ART is all about making creativity accessible and fun for everyone – no prior experience needed! We host recurring chill art sessions for people to gather and create in community. We also organize a variety of Workshops to allow students to explore new media, as well as art markets that spotlight the amazing work of AUC‘s artists.

Hike, Camp and Rave!  Bonfires, courtyard movies and the best collaborations ever, AUCave is one of AUCSA’s newest committees, and we’re committed to making sure you have the best AVE events ever, whatever those may be…

AUC’s fashion committee! We hold events related to fashion throughout the year, culminating in our biggest event, the Fashion Show. We welcome everyone at AUC with a passion for fashion to explore, develop, and showcase their skills and creativity at Couture.

We are AUCafe, the borrel & bar student committee at AUC. Some might say we are the heart of AUC’s social life, and we FULLY agree! What’s university life without a party?! We organise Bi-monthly borrel events where all years come together (on theme!)

Become a closer part of the borrels by joining the Barcrew family! As a Barcrew member, you will help out during AUCafé events. Get ready for memorable bondings and a great chance to broaden your social network at AUC!

AUCommunity is meant to celebrate the diversity at AUC. We host fun and social events where we can learn and share our cultures in a more casual and fun manner.

We cook, we serve, we ate!
As the home to the foodies of AUC, Cuisine aims to unite all students through our shared love for food as well as many cozy, wholesome and delicious events throughout the school year.

We are AUCanDance, Amsterdam University College’s one and only dance committee. We organise various events throughout the year in (and out!) of the studio, and strive to create a wholesome, supportive & fun environment wherever we go. You can catch us at our annual Final Performance, representing AUC at the UCSRN tournament, or every Wednesday afternoon at dance class taught by our very own students, with a new style every week!

Learn all about smart investments, business tools, pitching your ideas and more. AUInvest is here to help you broaden your financial knowledge and horizons. 

CUT is dedicated to celebrating good, exciting cinema, and aims to make it accessible to the AUCommunity. We love film, both as spectators and as creators. In our pursuit to share this love, we host screenings of, and discussions about a diverse array of remarkable films, and also create our own film(-themed) projects. Make sure to follow our social media accounts (@auccut) to stay in the loop of all our cinephilic shenanigans™️!

HandsOn is a fun and amazingly motivated board that aims to raise money through a variety of fundraisers for charities both in the Netherlands and world-wide! We raise awareness on pressing issues on our committee pages and organise volunteer opportunities right here in Amsterdam for all AUC students. We want to make it easy for everyone to get as involved as possible and to make a difference, however small it may be. Does this sound like something you would love to participate in during your time at AUC? Come hang out with us at one of our events. Hope to see you there!

Our goal at Pangea is to promote sustainable practice at AUC and in the wider community. We pride ourselves in taking a holistic approach to sustainability and engaging with a wide range of issues from global warming to waste management. Our activities include educating and running workshops for students, making changes at the university level by campaigning for change in the curriculum and recycling system, and engaging on a global scale by attending climate rallies. Overall, we seek to spread sustainability.

Solace is AUC’s party and events committee. Established in 2009, it is one of the three remaining founding committees. Amsterdam’s thriving nightlife is a central part of the city’s culture, and Solace is here to help you discover it. We want to make sure that amidst the chaos of our academic lives we don’t forget to appreciate this city and everything it has to offer. Nightclubs, festivals, borrell’s, raves- we’ll help you find solace.

We create and run weekly workshops at Jeugdland, a children’s playground and activity center a 4 minute bike ride from AUC. Our workshops run every Saturday and cover many different science (and sometimes more artistic) experiments. Our committee gives AUC students a chance to meet and interact with the community outside of AUC, as well as take some time to remember what it’s like to be a kid!

PlayUC is AUC’s games committee – we organise game nights with board games, video games, you name it. We hope to create a casual atmosphere where fellow students can come and have a fun time. Some of our favourites include Werewolves, Catan, Secret Hitler and Jackbox games, but we have many more in our growing collection. We also sometimes organise D&D nights!

AUC’s Trivia Committee! Join us on Monday nights to expand your file of fun facts, and show off that random information you learned on the back of a Snapple cap!

The Yearbook Committee aims to capture the amazing community we have here at AUC by bringing all our memories from each year together in the yearbook. This includes committees, student and event photography, interviews, experiences, and more. We try to be as inclusive as possible, given the wide range of the AUCSA’s social opportunities, and hope to provide everybody with a special book to remember each year by.
