Hey everybody! My name is Kai van der Plas, and Iβm the Information Processes Manager of the 49th STAR Board. You can say Iβm responsible for most IT and Data related matters, like the website, data management and analysis, and many other digital systems that we use. Besides this, I also supervise a few committees!
I think after all my years at STAR, the thing that brings me the most joy and fulfillment is passing on the idea, the concept and the memories of STAR to whoever is interested in it. My university life wouldnβt be the same without RSM STAR, and Iβm especially grateful for all the people that Iβve met and whoever assisted me. I guess that joy and fulfillment comes from; being able to grant people the same opportunity and excite them the same way I received that opportunity and excitement.
Taking on a board year is quite a challenge, a step out of the ordinary, and while some people may say that it wouldnβt have been my wisest decision, I think that, so far, itβs been one of the most major decisions that Iβve so far been getting the most happiness from.
If a board year, or any other responsibility or activity within STAR interests you, you can always reach out to me through our socials or at one of our events, with a cup of coffee or a drink.
