Like every year there will be an introduction week for all the new students that are going to study at the TUE next academic year. In order to guide all these new students, we are looking for students who will act as parents to these new students (kiddos) and show them how it is to study and live in Eindhoven, as well as have a fun week full of activities. If you think you have it in you to become a good parent then please subscribe here to become and intro-parent!
What is your job as a parent?
When you become a parent you’ll be appointed to a group of new students that are going to study either Electrical Engineering or Automotive Technology next year. This group has a size of +- 8 new students plus you and your partner. It will be your job, together with your partner, to guide these students through the introduction program. This involves for example;
- Making sure the kiddos get to the activities
- Let the students get to know each other
- Let the students get to know Eindhoven
- Let the students have a great time
- And more!
How do you become a parent?
You can become a parent by filling in the form on this page. We will register your subscription and contact you later for more information.
Important remarks:
- We’re only looking for Electrical Engineering or Automotive Technology students.
- If you are a first-year student and we have too many parents then you’ll have a lower priority than 2nd, 3rd or master students.
- We might invite you to ask a few questions about your motivation.
- A parent should be available for the whole week, often from very early in the morning to very late at night.
- You have to be available from the 19th to the 24th of August and also the weekend before the intro (17 & 18), otherwise, you CANNOT be an intro-parent.
If you want to be an intro-parent but haven’t found a partner to do this with, you can subscribe to a list at https://thor.edu/agenda/intro-parents-2019-no-partner where you'll be matched with other solo-parents
