‘Students who have committed themselves in a special way in the past year’. Erasmus Magazine and Studium Generale are looking for Erasmus University’s ‘Student of the Year’. Fleur, Emma and Mohammed, medicine students, nominated. You can vote as of today!
Every year, EM and SG organizes the ‘Student of the Year’ election for EUR students. This year, three medical students have been nominated.
Buddy program
Fleur and Emma, both Medicine students, started a buddy program after the attack on Erasmus MC last September. They heard that students were afraid to return to the Education Center and wanted to help by pairing freshmen with older students who were already familiar with Erasmus MC.
