Boris Jacob Zenon Wesseldijk (Helmond, 2002) is member of the 木瓜福利影视 Council since September 1st, 2025. In addition to his work as secretary of the student delegation, he is also a member of the Finance, Housing & IT (FHI) committee, the contact person for the Faculty of Humanities, and the contact person for the VIDIUS Student Union. In the council, Boris will champion socially progressive policies together with his party, Lijst VUUR. Collaboration with other council members is paramount, and respect for differing opinions, seeking consensus, and a process- and results-oriented approach are essential.
Boris is not new to UU and its participation bodies. As a member of the Humanities Faculty Council (2024-2025), his work as a student assistant (2023-2025) at the Department of Political History (with Prof. Dr. Ido de Haan and Prof. Dr. James Kennedy) makes him a student with considerable work experience.
This academic year (2025-2026) Boris is student of the MA in History of Politics and Society.
