Obituary Karel de Jonge »
With pain in our hearts, we inform you that the beloved Karel de Jonge has passed away at the age of 88, on Saturday, the 5th of July.
Karel had worked at the University of Twente for over forty years and was appointed Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau for his efforts in and around the University.
Karel was the director of education of the computer science programme when Inter-Actief was founded, which is why he earned the title of honorary member within the association. Karel still went to dine with the board every year, together with the rest of the honorary members, with immense pleasure.
We will miss Karel greatly, and we would like to remember what he meant to the association one more time.
Our deepest condolences to his family and friends.
On behalf of the Board of Inter-Actief.

The Almanack Committee is looking for members! »
Next year is a lustrum year, and so we'll be creating an Almanack again, and we need your help to do that!
Since the Lustrum is coming up, we want to publish an Almanack again! In the Almanack, we will write about the past five years of Inter-Actief, and much more! Brother and sister associations will get a chance to write a piece about their relation with Inter-Actief, and all boards of the past five years, among many, many other things that you will get a chance to think of! This monumental book will be remembered for the coming five years and maybe even longer, so it is important that it's written well! Are you interested in helping with writing the next Almanack? Then send an email to board@inter-actief.net and sign up!

Become part of the next Study Tour Committee! »
Want to organise a large event? Become a member of the Study Tour Committee!
The Study Tour is a bi-annual event where, for three weeks, students go on a trip to a foreign country! On this trip, they will visit companies, educational sites, and maybe even have time to do some fun stuff. But all of this must, of course, be organised, for which we need the Study Tour Committee! Interested in organising the next Study Tour? Send an email to board@inter-actief.net to show your interest!

Sign up to become a pedel! »
The constitution drink of the (hopefully) 47th board of I.C.T.S.V. Inter-Actief is coming up on the 9th of September, and they will need some protection!
During the constitution drink, the boards of other associations will try to "brass" our board and the guestbook. They might even try to bring in a couch. These disturbances are, of course, not very desirable, and so the board will need an army of pedellen to protect them. If you want an impression of what a constitution drink is like, you can look at some pictures of the most recent one here.
The constitution drink will take on the 9th of September, between 16:00 and 19:00. If you are interested in becoming a pedel, you can sign up through this form. If you have questions about what it is like, you can always send a message to the board and we will be happy to answer it. Know that being a pedel during a constitution drink will involve a lot of pushing and pulling, so be prepared for that.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Accreditation (T)CS - Student Chapter »
Every 6 years institutions of higher education have to demonstrate their quality of education. Our programme will be evaluated coming December.
This shows that their programmes are academically and professionally up to standard. Without this accreditation programmes are not allowed to issue recognized diplomas.
The majority of this is handled by an external visitation committee and the program bodies. They have to write a self-evaluation report, containing their vision, goals, evaluation results, and planned and implemented improvements. However, since 2016 students are also actively involved in this process by writing a student chapter, and we need your help with that!
The student chapter will have to reflect the opinions and experiences from students across the entire program, which is why we want to give you a chance to have your voice be hear and give your opinion. We would like to ask you to fill in the following survey to give your opinion and help us write the student chapter: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/QJQVA84fjv
Additionally, there will be a physical discussion session tomorrow the 18th of June, at 12:45 in RA 4110. If you would like to share your opinion in person, we would also love to see you there!
