Wanna bring your own food for a change, but have nowhere to warm it up? Together with the Student Council of FPN, we are proud to tell you that we managed to arrange microwaves to be present at Randwyck! As of now you can find these microwaves at the UNS40 coffee corner, next to the coffee machines by the Mensa. #YourUniversityYourFuture #VoteNovUM

And the best thing is, you support charity by eating this amazing brunch, all profit goes to Ragweek Maastricht!

Vastelaovend (=Carnival) is just around the corner! Despite the festivities only officially beginning upcoming sunday, you will already be able to party tonight! Put on a crazy costume, mingle with the crowd and have a beer (or 2, or 3 etc.) ! Since some of us here at NovUM will also be joining the party and others will be taking a well deserved break from work, it might take us a little bit longer to respond to your messages the next few days. Cheers and Alaaf!!

NovUM is one of the big student representation parties with students in the University Council. In this council, university wide policy, problems and ideas are discussed. It is here where we put the focus on the Quality of UM, Accessibility, Integration and Sustainability. Did you know that all of our meetings are open to the public? Check out the link to see when there is a University Council meeting and have a look at what we do! #YourUniversityYourFuture #VoteNovUM https://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/…/pa…/university-council

Sustainability is one of our four pillars that we truly focus on. Besides major plans that we support in the University Council, namely the UM sustainability Roadmap 2030, you can also make a difference yourself! Doppers are sustainable water bottles and furthermore the company supports safe drinking water projects worldwide! Interested in getting a NovUM Dopper yourself? Send us a PM! #YourUniversityYourFuture #VoteNovUM  

UM wide recycling is about to be implement! Sustainability is one of NovUMs pillars and we will always push for policy which is sustainable. What else do you think we should do to improve sustainability at our University?    

This year only 35,5% of new students at our University had Dutch nationality. The University would like this number to go up to 40-50% next year. What do you think would be a good balance of students' nationalities?
