Hello everyone, my name is Charlotte (she/her) and I’m this year’s Chair. I’m a fourth year student, specializing in literature and I also completed a minor in translations. I’m 23 years old and this is actually my second year on the board. Last year I was treasurer, but I just love Albion so much that I decided I wanted to stay on for another year.
As Chair, it’s my job to make sure all the other board members do their job and that the association runs smoothly. I lead all the meetings and I’m at pretty much all activities so you’ll see a lot of me.
In my free time I love to read and write, play some (cozy) games and
boardgames and hanging out with friends. I also love talking about books (or movies or shows) so you
can always come up to me and strike up a conversation about what you’re currently reading!
If you see me in the hallway, feel free to say hi and I hope I’ll see you all at one of our activities! Best of luck with your studies and I’ll see you around!
Love, Charlotte

Dear members of Albion!

Earlier this month we asked you whether you would be interested in joining us to Edinburgh, and with the positive response we got we tried our hardest to see if we could make it work. Sadly, there wasn’t a single hostel that could take us in, so we won’t be able to visit Edinburgh.

We have explored other options and are happy to announce that we will be going to *Bath* instead!
We have a bunch of activities planned, so it’ll be a trip to remember. Keep an eye out for more information in the coming month(s)! 🇬🇧

With love,
The Travel Committee

We also want to thank our Angler committee for publishing three amazing magazines and our enthusiastic travel committee for organizing our trip to Dublin this year🇮🇪! Swipe to the last slide to see our new 2024-2025 board 😍! You will see some familiar faces and some new additions to our Albion fam! We have full confidence in this board and we can't wait to see what they have in store for us! We hope that you will all re-sign up as a member and that we'll see you again after the summer break ⛱️☀️ for our LUSTRUM year🎉

Dear members and others,

Our last guest-lecture this academic year will be done by our very own Dr. Porck. Together with we’ll listen to Dr. Porck while he tells us a manuscript murder mystery. Over the past 60 years, fragments of an 11th-century Old English glossed manuscript have been found inside book bindings in England, Germany, Poland and the Netherlands. They form pieces of a fascinating philological puzzle: a manuscript murder mystery that involves a tantalizing connection to an Anglo-Saxon princess on the run from the Normans and Leiden as the likely scene of the crime!
If you want to find out the truth about this mystery, we’ll see you on June 3th, 17:00, in Lipsius 0.28!
