The NSHV was founded on January 4th, 2011, by the Founding Board. Their goal was to strengthen the bond between interdisciplinary honours students. The first logo was also voted in at this time, which you can take a look at below. Currently, the NSHV is an association for all honours students of the Radboud Honours Academy. In 2022 the logo was officially changed for the second time in the association’s history. The logo now includes the founding year and the NSHV creed.
Since the beginning, we have already celebrated two “Lustrum” years (five year anniversaries). The NSHV now has more than 200 members and during the activities, trips, galas and weekends, numerous friendships and relationships have emerged. The NSHV has grown in the last few years to be an essential part of the life of Nijmegen’s honours students and we are very thankful for everyone who has supported us on this journey!
The motto of the NSHV Sapientia in Otium; wisdom in leisure. Of course, Honours programmes are an example of this, but so is a membership at the NSHV: We have organised a lot of informative activities over the years, like symposia, lectures, a visit to a custodial clinic, debates and more.
Furthermore, we were able to enjoy a lot of informal activities, such as monthly drinks, movie nights, barbecues and a yearly “cantus”. We have been on trips to Copenhagen, Berlin, Rome, Vilnius, Brussels, Dublin and Stockholm, among others. In short, the NSHV has been a homely, fun association where everyone can feel welcome for more than ten years now!
