In July, thirty-three participants--six from the international MBA program at Nyenrode Business Universiteit and twenty-seven from its executive MBA--traveled to Oregon as part of the recently revitalized University of Oregon-Nyenrode exchange program.

In a program that was arguably even more jam-packed than last summer's, participants took in case studies, site visits, activities, and cross-cultural exploration during their two-week study tour.

The UO-Nyenrode partnership has a rich history and the exchange program was reinstated last summer with hopes of creating life-changing experiences for participants.

“We got exposed to new perspectives," said Phillippe La-Reine, a Nyenrode MBA student. “We had a great opportunity to develop our international network as we got exposed to UO students, alumni, and faculty."

Following their week in Eugene, the MBAs headed to our Portland-based executive MBA program for their final week in Oregon.

To our latest flock of international Ducks: Leuk dat jullie er waren. (It was great to have you here).
