This past half year, I coordinated the Entrepreneurship Minors at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. In these minors, the students create and develop their own entrepreneurial opportunity. They pitch their ideas to a critical jury, write a business plan, and reflect on their individual progress. Closing the program with this year’s ending ceremony was a great moment. Working with this cohort has been a very positive experience. The strength of your final projects, your dedication throughout the minor, and your professional approach were all impressive to see. I hope we will cross paths again in future courses or professional contexts. Best of luck with whatever comes next! Special thanks to the minor coaches who helped to make the minor a success: Arjan Frederiks, Sílvia Costa, Wim Biemans, and Inna Majoor-Kozlinska!
