Ieder mens heeft een verhaal! Voor de Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam ga ik op zoek naar die verhalen. Alumni vertellen over hun dromen van toen en hun carrière van nu, maar ook studenten en medewerkers komen aan het woord. Een grappige anekdote, een inspirerend verhaal. Over liefde, het leven, studeren en werken, ambities, reizen, vriendschap en familie. Hieronder deel ik de reeds gepubliceerde verhalen (klik op de foto voor tekst). Wil je dagelijks op de hoogte blijven, volg de Erasmus Universiteit op facebook.
