Our Culture Book
"And... what do you do for a living? The ultimate question when you first meet someone. You tell what your tasks are and how you carry them out, what processes and applications you use, and of course whether you like it or not. But why you really do the work, what your purpose is, you don't tell that very quickly. Therefore this Culture Book. We asked our staff and sports teachers one question: "write a story of 100 to max. 250 words describing what working at the SSC means to you and include some images".
Of course, we could have hired copywriters who write in perfect sentences what our core values are, but we'd rather let our employees tell you in their own words why they work at the SSC and how they have experienced 2020. The same employees that have worked their socks off and have overcome quite some obstacles this year, which have united us even more. The same people who have chosen to add their knowledge, skills, beauty and weirdness to the SSC every day. Enjoy!
A sports center you are proud to be a member of
Here at the Student Sports Center Eindhoven (SSC) we are proud to offer an unforgettable student experience and create a community that students, staff and alumni are proud to be part of. For years our more than 13.000 sports cardholders have rated the SSC with an 8.0 average. What makes the SSC the unique heart of the Campus?
Largest sports program of Eindhoven
400 lessons per week in 70 different sports, fitness and (special) courses under the guidance of qualified (top sports) teachers. In our extensive facilities you can play free sports. At our 38 student sports clubs you have the opportunity to shine in sports, gain management experience and of course enjoy the student life. Seven days a week, before, during or after lecture hours, the SSC is the meeting place on campus for exercise, sports and meetings. At the SSC you challenge yourself, make friendships for life and develop skills you didn't even know existed. So step out of the crowd and take that opportunity to develop yourself.
Get the best out of yourself: get involved!
At the SSC you can also develop yourself socially and professionally. Student sports clubs are for students and run by students. From the chairman to the water carrier, students show initiative and leadership in every field. Every year the whole board changes and makes way for a group of new students who want to gain valuable experience for the future. In addition to board positions, an association offers various places in committees, such as for sponsorship, an (international) tournament, team weekends, activities and lustrum. Leading your club is an unforgettable experience. Already during your student days, you make decisions that you thought were reserved for old wise men and women in a neat costume.
Home away from home
Members of the SSC hail from all provinces of the Netherlands, from every European capital and from all corners of the world. More than 100 different nationalities exercise weekly in and around the SSC. Our sports centre is the meeting place for students and staff of Fontys and the TU/e. Sport itself is already an easy way to build a (new) social life in Eindhoven, but next to all sports activities we also organize various other activities for our campus visitors and residents, such as sports weeks, pubquizzes, Mix&Meet events, Winter specials to celebrate Christmas, and an extensive Summer program.
Diversity and inclusiveness
The SSC is proud of the diverse community of TU/e and Fontys. Top-class sports, performance sports and recreational sports are all possible at the SSC. Both the beginner and the advanced can exercise at the SSC. Whether you are 100% Dutch or have your roots in another country, we offer everything bilingual: Dutch and English. To stimulate diversity and inclusiveness we have appointed a Diversity & Inclusion officer. Together with the students and staff we provide a safe sports environment where everyone can feel at home; a home away from home!
