Dear alumnus,

Done. Well done and congrats! Your studies are over, for now. You successfully finished your programme at the School of Business and Economics. You are now ready to enter the next phase of your life and start your professional career in the real world. I hope that you will find out that your time at SBE has been very worthwhile. That during your time at our faculty, you have developed yourself, with a little support from fellow students, teachers and others at SBE, both professionally and privately. We are proud that we have had the opportunity to contribute to this, however small or big that may be. And if later in your career, you return to SBE for a post-experience course or programme (and we have a lot to offer), we will be more than happy to welcome you again.

But for now, we wish you all the best in the real world. With our online alumnimagazine Vuurwerk (which we send out twice a year, subscribe for free here!) and through other channels, we will happily inform you of new developments and upcoming events you might find interesting, and we will keep you connected to the larger SBE community. As far as we are concerned, you are and always will be a member of our family.

Sincerely yours,

Arjen van Witteloostuijn Dean, School of Business and Economics Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
