Around 111 students will join the new cohort. With over 30 different nationalities, this will be another diverse addition to the students already in Middelburg. Hailing from all corners of the globe and with interests just as wide-spread, we welcome them to University College Roosevelt, Middelburg and the Netherlands. They will be an integral part of the social and academic community and we look forward seeing them around town, exploring all there is to offer.
Convocation will take place on August 26, in the Burgerzaal of the Former Town Hall, entrance via the Market Square. Invitees can attend the ceremony from 16:00-17:00. The doors open at 15:30.

She is also a professor in human rights law at Utrecht University and a member of the Board of Trustees of ProDemos, an organization that works on democracy education.
