Our Team

Editor in Chief
Maaike Platvoet

Maaike Platvoet has been the editor-in-chief of U-Today since 2016. She studied journalism at the University of Windesheim (Hogeschool Windesheim). Afterwards she was employed at the Twentsche Courant Tubantia and in 2002 she began working at the UT.

She puts her heart and soul into journalism. She always stands up for the importance of independent press. As the U-Today’s editor-in-chief, Maaike is responsible for the overall quality of our website, science magazine and special magazine editions.

Journalist
Stan Waning

Stan studied journalism at Windesheim University of Applied Sciences (Hogeschool Windesheim). He did two internships at TC Tubantia and joined U-Today in January 2021. During his studies and early in his career, he initially focused on sports topics, but today he also enjoys writing about politics, current affairs, student life and human interest stories.

In his stories, he likes to describe what he sees and hears on campus, and he prefers to translate what students and staff see and feel as accurately as possible.

Journalist
Michaela Nesvarova

Michaela started working at U-Today as a freelance journalist. After three years of successful collaboration, she came on board as a permanent member of the editorial team in February 2017. Michaela is our first reporter to write only in English, giving U-Today a larger international focus.

Michaela is a graduate of the Charles University in Prague, where she majored in linguistics, but also studied a number of other subjects, such as history, anthropology, sociology or philosophy. She enjoys using this background to bring interesting articles to everyone at the UT, including the local international community.

Editor
Sandra Pool

Sandra Pool has worked at U-Today (UT Nieuws) since October 2005. She started as a reporter and continued to becoming an editor, the coordinator of special editions and the person in charge of advertising and paid content. Sandra connects companies, partners and associates of U-Today through our entrepreneurial portal, an online platform available to both internal and external parties.

In 2001 Sandra obtained her degree in journalism, focused on written press, at the University of Windesheim (Hogeschool Windesheim) and in 2004 she finished her studies of International Relations at the University of Amsterdam.

Journalist
Rense Kuipers

Rense studied Crossmedia Concepting at the Saxion University of Applied Sciences. When he joined U-Today at the end of 2014, he immediately knew two things: 1. This is the place where he wants to call himself a journalist. 2. There’s no better place to do so than at this inspiring campus, where no two days are ever the same.

From student stories to hardcore science. And everything in between and outside of it. Rense wants nothing more than to experience, fathom and clarify your University of Twente. Every day over again.

Journalist
Jelle Posthuma

Jelle studied history and journalism at the University of Groningen. He did an internship at NPO Radio1 and joined U-Today in August 2017. As a historian he wonders how things became the way they are. During his study and work as a journalist, he learned how to bring these stories to a broader public. At U-Today, he focuses on a variety of subjects, but is especially interested in sport, student life and on-the-spot reporting.
