With financial support of Erasmus School of Economics’ alumnus Mr. Dick Verbeek who graduated in 1975, economics students Jake de Waele and Maria Ragkoussi will attend an intensive three-week undergraduate summer course at London School of Economics.
In the presence of former dean Prof. Philip Hans Franses and Charles Hermans (Director Alumni Affairs & Development), Mr. Dick Verbeek surprised the students during a pleasant gathering in the Erasmus Pavilion at Woudestein Campus (in the picture from left to right: Maria Ragkoussi, Philip Hans Franses, Jake de Waele, Dick Verbeek and Charles Hermans).
Mr. Verbeek who studied economics in Rotterdam and led Aon (the world's leading provider of global risk management, insurance brokerage and consulting services) in Europe for 20 years, has granted economics students with a scholarship for many years.
Recipients Jake de Waele and Maria Ragkoussi are both Bachelor Honours Class students, the best performing and most dedicated students at Erasmus School of Economics. The programme of the Bachelor Honours Class is designed to deepen economic knowledge beyond standard curriculum, to break the shackles of economic paradigm, to stimulate personal development, and to polish both soft and academic skills.
