New video series ‘The only constant’: they keep student life running
It’s not just students who keep Rotterdam’s student life going. Some people have been working tirelessly behind the scenes for years: the boatswain of Skadi, a chef who prepares weekly meals for a student association, or the manager of a large student complex.

Rob Venema has been taking care of the boats of Skadi for 26 years.

In a new video series, ‘The only constant’, EM follows these unsung heroes who, in their own way, are an indispensable part of Rotterdam’s student life. We shine a spotlight on the hard workers behind the scenes.
In the first episode, we followed Rob Venema. “He’s truly a household name at the club”, says a student about the boatswain of Skadi, who has been taking care of the over one hundred boats, ensuring that the 1,500 members of the club are able to row.
Do you know someone who keeps Rotterdam student life running? Without whom the club would collapse or the roof tiles of your student house would fall off? Send an email with the story to [email protected].
