The Certificate of Recognition is developed for students and alumni who have done volunteer work during their studies. This could be traditional community services work for the society or it could involve board and committee positions within student societies recognized by or registered with the Erasmus University Rotterdam as well as work for the university itself (student councils, Erasmus Ambassadors). Besides the recognition for volunteer work, the university offers students who devoted a significant amount of time to professional sports a certificate of recognition as well. The Certificate of Recognition quickly demonstrates to potential employers that the alumnus was active in a wide range of activities during his or her studies.
By offering the Certificate of Recognition to students and alumni the university expresses its appreciation for the efforts made by the recipients. The Certificate of Recognition forms part of the university’s goal to foster an academic community that involves with society.
