Meet the Alumni

For this concept, we invite our alumni to discuss Nyenrode's core values, Leadership, Entrepreneurship and Stewardship. This also shows (future) students how our alumni put the knowledge they acquired at Nyenrode into practice, and where it has brought them.

Do you know – or are you – someone who has created a concept that aligns with Nyenrode's LES values and who wants to share their experiences? Please let us know!
