As a board member of a study or student association, it is possible to get a testimonial. A testimonial is an official statement showing that you have been a board member of a study or student association in Eindhoven. The testimonial also mentions the most important competencies you learned as a board member.
This testimonial already existed for top associations (receiving board grants), but will now be made available to all associations linked to the TU/e. In October, each board member will receive an email in Osiris with an invitation to complete a digital application form. Once approved, you will receive your testimonial in Osiris. It will be a digital document sent as an attachment to an Osiris email. You can print the document yourself.
The testimonial is only available for students enrolled at the TU/e and is only issued to board members of the 2022/2023 academic year in October 2023. We will not issue testimonials during the year.
