Made in Maastricht: Gerben van den Berg
Congratulations Gerben van den Berg! We raffled 3 Ipads among the alumni who filled out the form to update your data. You are one of the winners! Gerben van den Berg : “Because I care about Maastricht University, I filled out the alumni questionnaire and it is of course very nice that I have won an iPad.”
“It was with great pleasure that between 1990 and 1995 I studied Business Economics at Maastricht University (Rijksuniversiteit Limburg then). That time has shaped me not only as an economist, but also as a person. Problem-Based Education has taught me to look critically at problems and to solve them through a combination of independent study and working together in groups. This is something I've been enjoying ever since."
Café D'ouwe Klok
"In addition, the easy and open communication with professors and lecturers that I have experienced at the faculty, but certainly also in café D'ouwe Klok, has been an example to apply in my work; this leads to motivated people who jointly achieve the best results. During my time in Maastricht, I built friendships and relationships with people who I still see regularly after more than 25 years. We are there for each other when needed."
Good feeling
"All in all, I have a good feeling when I think back to my study days. Every time we travel form the Randstad to Maastricht with my family, which is regularly the case, it feels like coming home to me."
