Confidential Mentors
In addition to the external mentor of the TU Delft, W.I.S.V. ‘Christiaan Huygens’ has had confidential mentors since 2021.
If you are experiencing or have experienced undesirable behavior (such as discrimination, (sexual) intimidation, agression, stalking, feeling left out at a certain event or bullying) by a fellow student, a Board member, teacher or someone else, you can tell your story to the confidential mentors. They offer you an accessible and confidential listening ear. W.I.S.V. ‘Christiaan Huygens’ has five confidential mentors: Floris van Engelen, Julia Barbosa van Wijk, Guuske Kouwenhoven, Maarten Weyns and Mayte Steeghs.
You can contact all confidential mentors via this e-mail address: confidentialmentors@ch.tudelft.nl. You can also contact them personally, these contact details can be found below. You can contact them via e-mail, WhatsApp, Signal or by giving them a call. You can also make an (anonymous) report via TrusTool. The website wisv.ch/report is also a way to make an appointment.
They will contact you within 48 hours to make an appointment.
They are eager to help every student of our association, so don’t hesitate to contact them!

Hey! My name is Maarten, and I recently graduated from my Computer Science master. I couldn’t leave Delft behind though, so I started a PhD in the Cybersecurity group for now ;). After doing some committees at CH, I am now one of the five confidential mentors of the association! I’m always available if you want to talk about something in confidence. I want you to feel safe and at home in the association, just like myself. So, if something isn’t sitting right, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Heya! My name is Mayte, and I’m a first year student in the Data Science & Artificial Intelligence Technology Masters! I am Dutch, but grew up in Romania and Austria, so I got the best of both worlds. Last year I was the chair of the /pub Board (our faculty bar) and I have also been in many CH committees such as AkCie, WiFi, iCom and I helped organise the Study Visit to Japan and Korea! CH is my community, and I hope you experience the same welcoming, open, and inclusive environment I have. I’m here (under confidentiality) to support you with any concerns or struggles you have throughout your student life. If you see something, say something! I’m here to listen and support you. Don’t hesitate to reach out!

Hi! My name is Floris, and I’m a third year CSE student. I enjoy being an active member of CH and all the good times and friends it has brought me. CH should be a place where everybody feels welcome and safe. If you ever want to talk about something in confidence, please reach out to me for a listening ear or guidance on potential next steps. Contacting me or one of the other confidential mentors doesn’t commit you to anything, we are just here to listen. So don’t hesitate to reach out!

Hi there! I’m Julia, a third-year Applied Mathematics student. During my time at CH, I was chair of both the CHoCo and WiFi committees, which I really enjoyed! I am still regularly chilling around the CH-hok, so you may already have seen me there! As a confidential mentor, I am here if you need someone to talk to. Whether you are dealing with study-related stress, personal difficulties, something uncomfortable within CH, or simply need someone to listen, you can always approach me. Everything you share will be treated confidentially, and together we can look at what might help you. Your student years should be a fun and exciting time, but they can also be overwhelming, I know that from experience! No problem is too small to talk about!
