Hi Veetelers,

I’m Reza and I am 22 years old. I am born and raised in Ewijk, a small village near Nijmegen. Ewijk is quite close to Wageningen, by bike it is only 1 hour. However during my studies I only cycled a few times, I still prefer to go by train. I knew, I wanted to study animal sciences as soon as I saw the little piglets, lambs and calves on the information folder during the open day.
In March I started the master programme of Animal Sciences after finishing my thesis at ABG on the inbreeding management and relatedness in the Epagneul. I found this topic really interesting so for my master I chose the specialisation biodiversity and genetics, and I will again write my thesis at the Animal Breeding and Genomics chair group. Next to my studies I like to go horseback riding, skiing and going out to have dinner with friends. If you have any questions, or remarks please contact me.
I’m looking forward to the this year!

Kind regards,
Reza van Welie  
 

Study association "De Veetelers" has its own song. It is in Dutch and tells you who Veetelers are and what they do:

· Live in Wageningen
· Love animals
· Party
· Drink beer
· Work at Zodiac
· Love the country in stead of the city
· Are lead by a Board
· Have a lot of committees and sub-associations
· Can sing very good

It was composed in 2004 during a Board Weekend. It was recorded in a professional studio.  The result can be heared on the website. Click here (MP3) to sing the song loud and clear.

melody: Land van Maas en Waal

Chorus:

Tussen twee hoge bergen,
in het Wageningse land,
zie je feestende studenten,
met een biertje in de hand.
Wat is dat toch voor 'n volkje,
ze drinken allemaal
en raken soms verstrikt in hun eigen dierentaal.
De koeien, varkens, kippen en de vissen zijn de klos,
want in de buurt van deze beesten komt een Vééééételer pas los.

We brengen onze tijd op het Zodiac door.
Uiteindelijk ingenieur, daar gaan we allen voor.
Ontspanning in de kroeg, wat later op de dag.
Dat is óók iets wat je van ons verwachten mag.

Zalk, Zijtaart, Breugel en ook van Goerree,
Daar komen we vandaan, maar daar zitten wij niet mee.
De geur van de provincie dat doet ons allen goed.
Das beter dan dat stadse, want dat zit niet in ons bloed.

Chorus

Aan het hoofd van deze meute, staat het Bestuur.
Die behoren te blijven tot het laatste uur.
Ze krijgen erg veel hulp uit het veetelersland.
Commissies en clubjes, zijn hun rechterhand.

Dit is het lied voor de veeteeltstudent.
Hiermee kun je zien, of je een echte bent.
Kun je niet zingen, brul dan maar mee.
Als je veel geluid maakt vinden wij het snel oké.

Chorus
