Goals

When Xootic was established in 1991, its initial objective was to aid ex-OOTIs in keeping in touch with one another. As the number of its members increased, and as more and more ex-OOTIs appeared on the job market, Xootic extended its aims. Xootic currently pursues the following goals:

• to organize meetings and reunions for its members;
• to support the exchange of information between students and graduates of the OOTI-course;
• to communicate information concerning jobs and vacancies;
• to inform the Dutch industry and potential students about the OOTI programme;
• to strengthen the relation with the TU/e Mathematics and Computer Science department by joining MaCFAN.

Intended Audience

The Xootic audience consists of both members and supporting members. Xootic is primarily an association for students and graduates of the OOTI programme; therefore, OOTI students and OOTI graduates (ex-OOTIs) are the only candidates for membership of Xootic. Xootic does not differentiate between student and graduate members.

Aside from OOTI students and OOTI graduates, other people (often related to the OOTI programme) may wish to join Xootic. They have the option of becoming a supporting member of Xootic. A supporting member has the same rights as a member, with the exception of not having the right to vote at the annual member meeting.
