Since the beginning of time, man has been both blessed and cursed with a higher intelligence than the other organisms. Through this higher intelligence man sees the world and the reality that surrounds it in a different way than the animals. This lonely view at the universe sometimes makes people want to escape the occasionally somewhat depressing reality. At this point, however, the intelligence of man becomes a blessing as the human race is well able to provide itself with means to actually escape from reality. Alcohol has been flowing through the veins of man for a long time. At the BroCo we understand the urge for alcohol all too well and we, as loving fellow man, do our utmost to give as many people as possible the chance to spend not too much money to escape the reality. We brew with 11 men day and night to serve delicious, exciting, exquisite, mouth-watering, sensational and glittering beverages to our beloved fellow man.

The committee Wervingsdagen organizes yearly, on behalf of 9 study associations, the Wervingsdagen. The committee is responsible for organizing the Skills sessions, the Career Expo and the Interviewing days.

The first event of the year are the Skills sessions. During these days, different lectures and workshops are held, all focusing skills necessary in applying for a job. The second event of the year is the Career Expo. Over 100 companies present themselves during two days by setting up a stand. Students get the opportunity to visit the stands and talk to the recruiters. There are also presentations from different companies in the Auditorium. Finally, the Interviewing days take place. Students can submit their resume and request an interview with one of the participating companies.

So being part of the Wervingsdagen committee means organizing three big events at the TU/e. Almost every student at the TU/e will come across one or multiple of these events during their time at the university. To make sure all these events run smoothly, a lot of effort is put into the organization of these events. Every year, 8 or 9 students take place in this committee. Each person gets assigned a specific task. You can be in charge of one specific day, you can be responsible for the public relations or the external afffairs and of course there has to be a chairman, treasurer and secretary. Taking place in the Wervingsdagen committee will teach you a great deal about contact with companies, working together with students from different faculties and organizing these major events of course. The Wervingsdagen committee not like other committees because of the professional approach and close one-on-one contact with a lot of companies. This is also the reason a part-time board scholarship is given to committee members.

The aesculapius committee, in short the EsCo, takes care of our snake Bouzo. Bouzo is the mascot of the association and has been a resident of the Bouzarium in the Prothok for over 15 years. Normally Bouzo is fed once a week by one of the committee members. Bouzo mainly eats mice and occasionally a rat. Once a year he has a hunger strike where he does not eat for more than 4 months! Do you want to know what Bouzo is doing all day long? Follow him on facebook! 

Every two years Protagoras organizes a gala. The last gala was the lustrum gala in December 2018. At the end of this academic year, a new committee will be started so that in April/May 2021 a big gala can be organized.

Every year, Protagoras organizes a camp for the first-year students in one of the first weekends of the academic year. Together with Protagoras' active members, the first-year students go to a nice location to get to know each other and the association. The camp always has a theme. In past few years, for example, the themes fairytales and mafia have come along. It has been a tradition for years that this camp is organized by the previous board, so for the academic year 2020-2021 the 31th board organizes this weekend. 

The LumiCie is one of the younger committees of Protagoras, but can be seen at almost all activities. And that's how it should be, without the LumiCie there are no beautiful pictures of the activities. The members of this committee walk around at parties and other activities with a camera and ensure that the nice moments are captured. The committee can also be used for photos for other committtees and board photos.

Parents are usually involved in the study choosing process of their child. After their child has chosen a study program, most parents don’t know what their child does on a daily basis. That is why the parent day committee organizes a day at which the parents of the BMT and MWT students can experience a typical day at the TU/e.

What the parent day committee does according to the students:

With all those fun activities and parties that Protagoras organizes, it is very difficult to give your parents the impression that you’re studying very hard. That is why the parent day committee organizes day to every year to help you keep that illusion intact. We will fill the day with interesting lectures, a difficult group project and the day ends with a quiz. At the end of the day, parents will be so overwhelmed of the student life, that they will realize that all those activities and parties are necessary.

Many students like to do something fun with their fellow students. That is why the activity committee, or ProZAc, was established in the year 2000. The ProZAc organizes a number of fun activities every year, such as a dropping and cocktail workshop. There are also activities that return annually, such as the BBB and cocktail workshop.
