E Pluribus Unum (EPU) is the study association for American Studies at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. Boasting over 190 members, EPU seeks to bring students across both Bachelor and Master levels together. This is achieved through organising various events across the academic year ranging from guest lectures, conferences, study trips abroad, academic workshops, and other extra-curricular activities. EPU was established in 1989 and has proven to be a beneficial and enjoyable experience for our members. It provides the capacity for members to join various committees, allowing them to build up their own generic competences such as organisational skills, financial management, people management, presentation skills, and effective time management.
