February 12th 2010. In an intimate atmosphere 10 students of IFM that passed the first year of their program (the so called Propedeutical part) were celebrated for achieving this first stepping stone on the pathway to their degree. Also two students were present to receive their Bachelor of Business Administration, major IFM, diploma.

Team manager Piet Hein Oosterhagen addressed the students, complimenting them with the way they had been able to gain knowledge and skills as well as the behavioral aspects that completes the competence level we aim for. After this speech Ab Reitsma, coordinator of the IFM-programme handed the certificates to the students, accompanied with personal words and a red rose.

Later on Piet Hein Oosterhagen spoke some words to the students that received their BBA diploma. Trude Roelofsen and Betty Jansen, the graduation lecturers of these two students, reflected on their study and they spoke some anecdotic words to them. Afterwards the diploma were handed to the students, accompanied with a bouquet of flowers and the traditional picture was taken.
