Being a MARUG member is about more than just academic and career development, it’s about building lasting friendships, fostering a vibrant community, and making your student life truly unforgettable! Our diverse range of social events and exclusive activities for active members ensure you connect, unwind, and have a fantastic time throughout the year.
MARUG Socials: For All Members
Join us every month at our beloved home base, 't Vaatje, for the ultimate MARUG Socials! These popular gatherings are the perfect opportunity to kick back, mingle with fellow members, officially welcome our new committees, and celebrate our outstanding "Member of the Month." With a relaxed atmosphere and special drink deals, it’s the perfect mid-week break for every marketing student.
Specialized Networking: (Pre-) MSc Marketing Socials
Specifically for our Master’s and Pre-Master’s students, we host dedicated socials at cozy locations like Café Zwarte Schaap. These events offer a relaxed environment to connect with peers, share study tips, de-stress from academic pressures, and build a professional network within your specific program.
Exclusive Perks: Active Member Activities
As an active MARUG member (serving on a committee), you are part of a tight-knit community that enjoys unique experiences and extra bonding opportunities organized by the Active Members Committee (PAC):
-
Active Member Weekends: Twice a year, we head off for an unforgettable weekend getaway designed to foster inter-committee bonding. Expect thrilling activities, engaging games, and a legendary costume party to cap off the fun.
-
PACjesavond: Get into the Sinterklaas spirit with this cherished tradition! We celebrate with witty poems and lighthearted "gossip" about active members and the board in a festive, friendly atmosphere.
-
Active Members BBQ: As a heartfelt thank you for your dedication throughout the academic year, we host an epic outdoor BBQ in May. It’s the perfect way to celebrate our collective contributions and reflect on a successful year together.
The Experience:
Whether you are attending a monthly drink or joining us for a full weekend away, these socials are where the strongest MARUG bonds are formed. They provide the social foundation that makes our association a true home for marketing students in Groningen.
