Like every other student (sports) association, Hippocampus relies on our members via various committees. Being part of a committee makes sure you get to know other members better, develop personal skills, and simply have a lot of fun. Do you want to know more about the different committees that Hippo has to offer? Check out the descriptions below!
If you are interested in joining one of the committees, please fill in the committee interest form!
Interaction Committee (InCie)
The interaction committee organizes Hippo’s non-horse-related social activities. If you have a fun idea or want to help with our ideas, join the Incie!
Past events include bowling, laser tag, kart racing, and board game nights. This year (2022-2023), we’d like to co-host events with other UT associations. If you are part of another association and have an idea, let us know 🙂
Horse Knowledge Committee (PkCie)
