Testimonial

Stijn Luijkx - alumnus at TIASFor over 20 years I have been regularly attending TIAS activities, which continues to be engaging and inspiring! So what makes it so inviting? 
Is it the pleasant ambiance on a special campus, where you are always welcomed hospitably? 
Or, the diversity of topics, considered from an "open mind" and critically positive perspective?
Is it the experts in their field, who outline expanding insights from both theory and practice?
Is it the approachable interaction with other alumni, who also never stop learning?
Or the orientation from both business and society, to be able to create more sustainable impact?
Exactly, for me it is precisely the mix of all these things that makes it so valuable and meaningful.
In short the TIAS Alumni Membership Package, highly recommended if you "never want to stop asking questions"!

Dorthe Schipperheijn - alumna at TIASSince my Executive Course at TIAS in 2013, I have been making grateful use of the Alumni Membership Package. Every year I find workshops, breakfast sessions and lectures that allow me to sharpen and deepen my knowledge and insight. Moreover, it is nice to regularly meet people who, like me, are loyal visitors to the workshops. It's nice to be able to follow fellow students and teachers like this over the years.
What I welcome is that the offerings have expanded and include more online activities, which are inspiring, educational and easy to join.
For me, the main benefit of the Alumni Package was finding one of the coaches provided through this membership. Through the website and free introductions, I was able to select a coach that exactly matched my request at the time. These conversations led to the successful start of my own business, which has been profitable from the first year despite years of lockdowns. Just that already makes the membership more than worth it for me.
So I highly recommend the Alumni Membership Package!"

Esther de Groot - alumna at TIASMy graduation from TIAS was more than 10 years ago. I still look back with great pleasure on the learning journey I went through then. Staying attentive to my own personal development alongside a demanding job as a policy manager and a busy family is not always easy, but fortunately there is "TIAS Connect" and the Alumni Membership Package. Every year I look forward to the programming and offerings. Participating in a workshop or online session is a gift to myself. Time to reflect, gain new insights and meet interesting people. It is always nice to come back to campus and the high expectations ... they are certainly met by the chosen speakers and topics.

Marcel Frijns - alumnus at TIASLifelong learning is also something I have had to learn. Every stage in life offers new challenges, where you have to reflect on the past and shape life towards the future. Tilburg University and TIAS Business School have given me the tools to develop myself as a professional on the one hand, but equally important as a person and leader. That is what makes TIAS' Life Long Development program so valuable. You do yourself and those around you a disservice by not investing in this. It is something I can recommend to every person and professional.

Edwin Lammers - alumnus at TIASIn the past, I attended the Executive Master of Finance & Control at TIAS. This program was mainly focused on the development of cognitive skills. I deepened my area of expertise and grew in my profession through knowledge and skills. The beauty of TIAS' alumni program is that it mainly complements that. The focus is on personal development and acquiring skills that are not necessarily related to the content of your work, but which help you grow in it. The quality is high because TIAS works primarily with excellent, experienced lecturers and facilitators. Among other things, personal leadership, negotiation and presentation skills have been covered in recent years and have made me a better professional. In addition, the workshops in recent years may have been outside my comfort zone, but they were always pleasant experiences that inspired me and made me think. I am already looking forward to the next one.
