About Us — ACE Society

AMSIB's student society

ACE Society is in close contact with AMSIB, which results in activities that fit very well with the curriculum. Our events are all based on socializing & culture, but also around business and education.

Activities & events

We organize “Get Together’s” at the campus, visit museums in and around Amsterdam, go to parties and clubs, visit theme parks, do pub quizzes, boat trips and tutoring!

Partners

To add more more value to your student time & professional experience, we work together with partners. Our partners are businesses who give ACE members discounts, offer internships and co-host events with us.

We also like to work together with our members, so if you have an idea, please reach out!

Board

Eric Huang

President

My name is Eric Huang, I am currently a 3rd year International Business student.
I was born and raised in the lovely island called Aruba and I am currently living in Amsterdam.
My hobbies and interests are: cooking, baking, video games, gym, healthy lifestyle, festivals, concerts, sports, and I am a food lover as well and I go to a new restaurant once a month to try out different cuisines from different cultures.
I am happy to say that I am part of Ace’s Event Committee and hoping to brainstorm some wonderful events with a Caribbean flare.
Moreover, I personally think education is essential and that is why I am hoping to organize a few interactive events to help students improve and understand the main topics of a certain subject.
