Alumni back in the auditorium! On Monday, the UCAA hosted its very first Academic Event with three epic UCU teachers taking the floor. Patricia Post, Alexis Aronowitz, and Rosemary Orr dazzled the audience, and stirred up quite the questions! Here with our beautiful UCAA members Indra and Januschka.
Back in November, the UCAA hosted a workshop by consultancy firm Oliver Wyman. During the workshop, three Oliver Wyman employees, who fill various positions within the company, came to Utrecht to discuss with both UCU students and alumni what a job at the firm entails, with a specific focus on financial services. For us, it was the first time hosting such an event outside of Career Day, and we were glad to see that so many of you attended – the classroom was overcrowded! The atmosphere was quite relaxed which resulted in a very open discussion, in which attendees were specifically interested to hear what a typical case looks like, and to find out whether Oliver Wyman, which is not officially based in the Netherlands, is planning to open an office here. The consultants explained that the cases are very diverse, and if you’d like to work for the firm, the most important requirement is that you’re smart, and preferably a bit quirky. And yes, a certain affinity with numbers would help as well. The firm plans to open an Amsterdam office in the future. Interested to find out more?

We have a new exciting pilot project running! We want to offer UCU students the chance to discover the cities and universities where they might want to pursue their studies, together with our alumni. The idea is that you, as an alumnus/alumna, can show the student around the city and the university, let him/her crash on your couch, give helpful advice, etc. Read more about the project here, and if you would like to participate (yesyesyes!) please contact Roeland at info@ucaa.nl!
