New sports center RUG, Hanze University of Applied Sciences and ACLO is being designed by AGS Architects
Become active at the ACLO!
The Executive Board consists of seven students. We are involved in managing all matters surrounding the ACLO. Everyone has his/her own job specific tasks. In addition to all the hard work, there is also plenty of fun; getting to know new people, activities, travel, conferences, drinks and of course the hours you spend together at the office. The balance between work and fun is just right at the ACLO. We are in our office in the Sports Center every Monday to Friday. The entrance can be found next to the entrance to the Koos Duppenhal, to the left of the entrance to the squash courts. Our door is always open, so come by for a chat or a cup of coffee!
