Board – CODON

Board 2025-2026

Below you can see the members of the 74th Board of our Study Association

President - Ilja Ebbers

Hi, my name is Ilja Ebbers, and I am the President of the 74th board of CODON. I am 20 years old and currently in my second year of the Bachelor Biotechnology. Since I joined CODON, I became an active member. I enjoyed going to activities and joined several committees to organize fun activities. I wanted to know more about the association and help to make CODON better; therefore, I joined the board.

As president, I want to keep CODON running smoothly and improve it wherever I can. I will do this by getting the best out of my board members. As secretary, I have learned a lot about CODON, and I will use this experience in my role as president. I am also here to listen to your ideas for CODON and will try to implement them whenever possible.

In my free time, I like to chill and go out with my friends. I also like to do sports whenever I find the time to do so. A lot of the time I am in the Hok so, if you want to contact me you can find me there or by sending me an email.

Secretary - Irene de Vries

Hi! My name is Irene de Vries, I am 19 years old and currently in my second year of the Bachelor of Biotechnology. I have the honour of being Secretary of CODON for this half year.

In my first year I already joined some committees; in some of which I had the secretary role. Therefore I already knew this role in the board would suit the best for me. My goal is to be approachable for every member and learn as much as possible about the association.

In my free time I like to paint, knit and practice other creative hobbies. I also cook a lot. When I eat together with friends, soup is my speciality. Other than that you can often find me in the Bongerd with my friends.

I am looking forward to a year filled with CODON activities, getting to know people and of course writing the weekly newsletter. You can find me in the Hok in the breaks and feel free to ask me anything!

Hi! My name is Anton. I’m the treasurer of the 74th Board of CODON. I’m 19 years old and in my second year of the Bachelor Biotechnology.

Since I joined CODON a little more than a year ago, I’ve been an active member. I’m often found at CODON activities which I enjoy very much, whether I’m participating in them or organizing them.

In my free time I’m active at scouting near my parents’ home. Next to that in my free time, I like to have a drink with my friends.
