It is my dream to grow in the academic world

โ€œFor me, studying at the VUB was primarily an ideological choice: free thinking is an ideal that I have long held in high esteem. In practice, I quickly found my place here, both in my studies and in the wide range of activities that student life offers. Because of this choice, I had to leave many of my high school friends behind, but I didn't regret it for half a second. I feel more at home here than anywhere else and it is my dream to grow in the academic world later on.โ€

On the occasion of the VUBโ€™s 50th anniversary, prof. dr. Martina Temmerman asked the students in her introductory course on journalism genres to make portraits of people on the VUB campus. The โ€˜snapshotsโ€™ resulting from the project Humans of the VUB offer a lovely cross section of life on our university campus in 2019/20.
