Dear ,
The academic year has come to an end and summer has finally begun. However, we already look forward to September and are preparing for the Opening of the Academic Year as well as the festive graduations of hundreds of students. The class of 2016 will enter the labor market full of ambition and enthusiasm. And with the help of alumni, who offer to mentor students, the transition from student to graduate is a lot smoother. Next to that, the projects which are financially supported by our alumni have a huge impact. Alumni are not just our best ambassadors, but also our greatest supporters.I hope you will have a great summer!
Kind regards,
Lex Meijdam, Dean Tilburg School of Economics and Management |

What is a wicked problem and why is it so difficult or even impossible to solve wicked problems? What possible organizational responses exist to wicked problems? And more importantly, how can we build resilience in our society? Read more

Calling campaign 2016 |
 |

The annual calling campaign to alumni took place in February. Students of TiSEM informed alumni about the developments of the university and the ambitions of the School. Alumni were also asked to support several research and education projects. We are proud to say that alumni pledged around 87,000 euro to help make these TiSEM projects a reality.
On Wednesday, September 14th (prior to the BTC event), the university organizes a -Thank You event-, especially for all alumni who support the university. We want to enable everyone to meet the researchers and students who have benefited from support of alumni.
