about the freshmen weekend committee

Menno Kemmers

Chairman

Hi! I’m Menno, and I’m the chair of the Freshmen Weekend (EJW) committee. My main job is to keep an overview of everything going on in the committee, support my teammates, and make sure everything runs smoothly so we can give you the best possible start to your time in Aerospace Engineering.

I can’t wait to meet you all during the EJW! Whether you’re excited, nervous, or both—we’ve got a great weekend planned to help you feel right at home.
