USC at FRED June 2 in Rotterdam

Unified St. Maarten Connection

USC focuses on creating a sense of unity among St.Maarten students and young professionals who are residing in the Netherlands and on St.Maarten. We also offer support to students from Saba and St.Eustatius. Our aim is to become a united front and stimulate a change that is beneficial to the unique position that we hold within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

USC considers its brand to be a symbol of high standards and professionalism. We have three simple, but significant, principles that we aim to live up to:

Integrity throughout our conduct with regards to our publications, communications, and activities.
Respect for our partnerships and our collaborators.
Responsibility, towards our supporters, our families, and the societies in which we live, work and study.

The USC Executive Board is the organisation’s highest operational level, responsible for guiding the organisation from a strategic and financial perspective. USC Executive Board members focus on three primary areas: Strategy, Relationship Management and Funding.

The Netherlands Chapter

The Netherlands chapter consists of two committees that are made up of young individuals who commit their time, effort and skills towards reaching USC’s full potential while strengthening their presence within their communities. These committees and the public relations of this chapter are overseen by the Netherlands Chapter Director.

St. Maarten Chapter

The St. Maarten chapter was launched in 2016 and will focus on closing the link between students heading to the Netherlands to begin their studies and those preparing to return home and bring their skills to St. Maarten. Since its launch, the chapter has hosted a tax workshop aimed at helping young professionals with tax compliance and income tax returns. Future activities will include providing workshops and information geared at preparing students who have selected the Netherlands as their future place of study.
