De Hoogeschoolraad

Ambassadors & funders of the university

About us 

The ‘Hogeschoolraad’ (loosely translated as ‘University Council’) is the original party behind the founding of the Netherlands School of Commerce, the predecessor to the Erasmus University, and the first Trust Fund. It has traditionally been one of the Erasmus Alumni Club’s circles. Members of the council are both members of the Erasmus Alumni Club and donors of the Erasmus Trustfund. Together they shape an ambassadors club which also functions as a social club.

Membership in the Hogeschoolraad
