In January, VUB alumnus Pierre Gurdjian became president of the board of directors at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. Gurdjian received his diploma in business engineering from Solvay Business School. He also has an MBA from Harvard and can look back on a rich 27-year career at the consultancy bureau McKinsey. In his new function, he will aim to increase cooperation between VUB and ULB. vubtoday.be/pierregurdjian

Tomorrow’s teachers
VUB GEARS UP FOR THE RECTOR ELECTIONS
Students can now choose to become a teacher sooner and in some cases get their teaching diploma immediately with a master’s degree. The aim is to make teacher training more attractive without compromising on quality. Another innovation in teacher training is the incorporation in the programme of expertise in metropolises – specifically
Brussels, with its multilingualism, global economy and diversity. This is unique in Europe. VUB will also work more intensively with Erasmus University College and COOVI adult education centre, as explained at the Kick Off on 3 March. vub.ac.be/IDLO HENRI MAART 2016
