Newsletter #8/2016

MSM Dean Wim Naudé

Welcome to MSM’s first newsletter of the academic year. Our Graduation Day (8 September) and Opening of the Academic Year (26 September) were two fantastic highlights of September. Congratulations to our graduates and their families. And welcome to the new students in our Maastricht programs. These include students taking our established MBA 33 (yes, our full-time MBA was started in 1984!) and our more recent Master in Management and Engineering, Master in Management and our Executive MBA. These were not the only highlights of September. Read also about our 6th Annual Research Conference, our new partnerships, new program innovations and upcoming events. And do not miss the great ‘Homage to Limburg’ video made by our MBA 32 class.
