What is T.W.I.S.T.?
T.W.I.S.T. is the study association for linguistics in Leiden. For over twenty years, we’ve been organising activities for our members that allow them to add more depth to their study and meet fellow students along the way. Some of our annual events are the study trip abroad, the T.W.I.S.T. Student Conference, and the Talengala. We also organise lectures, movie nights, game nights, borrels, and much more! Of course, we don’t do all of this by ourselves, but we are assisted by the fantastic members of our committees.
A T.W.I.S.T. membership will allow you to get to know your fellow students, as well as others who are interested in language. You will receive our magazine (the TWISTER) four times a year and will get to participate in the wide variety of activities our board and committees have to offer; maybe you’ll even join one yourself! You will also get to vote in the general assemblies. Most of all, you will make friends and have a lot of fun at T.W.I.S.T.!

KasCo switch GA

Lipsius 2.11

The KasCo is the committee that guards over T.W.I.S.T.’s finances, making sure our treasurer does his job correctly and doesn’t wire all of T.W.I.S.T.’s budget over to a widowed Nigerian prince. However, to be able to properly do their job, they (as well as retroactively several previous KasCos) need to be voted in. Additionally, any policy changes, proposed either by the board or other members, will be voted on to officially become part of the T.W.I.S.T. IR. Please come to have your voice heard!
