With many students starting or graduating at this time of year, WIIS Brussels – and its antenna WIIS Campus- wanted to pause and reflect on the achievements of students in these difficult times.

Our President Isabelle François gave the commencement speech at the VUB Brussels School of Governance in June, which we hope can inspire students who managed to graduate after a most difficult year, and those continuing their studies this autumn.

“Go and find your tribe. With a community behind you, you can reach for the stars. Invest, nurture and care for each other. That is how we change the world”, Isabelle said.
