Let’s take it back to Orientation for a second! Here’s part 2.

From discovering the UCR buildings, library, tutors, well-being and student support… to ending the week exactly how it should: together. So many memories made!

A huge thank you to our UCR Media Team members for capturing these moments:

University is often seen as one of the “best years of your life” but for many students, it can also be overwhelming, lonely, stressful, and emotionally exhausting in ways people don’t always talk about.

Support matters long before someone reaches a breaking point. Sometimes having one safe person to talk to can change everything.

One of the most important things students can learn is that asking for help is not failure. It’s self-awareness. It’s courage. And it’s part of being human.

At UCR, student wellbeing isn’t treated as an afterthought. With personal tutors, confidential counseling, wellbeing workshops, and spaces designed for reflection and support, students are reminded that they don’t have to navigate university life alone.

Starting university is about much more than finding your classroom. It is about finding your people, discovering your new home and beginning to feel that you belong.

Welcome to Introweek 2026 — Part 1 at University College Roosevelt.

For our new Class of 2029, Orientation Week began with students being introduced to their Introweek families. This year’s theme was music, with 12 families inspired by different bands, artists and musical films. Throughout the week, they completed challenges and collected stamps in a friendly competition to become the Best Introweek Family.

During the Middelburg Tour, students explored the city while getting to know some of the people, organisations and places that form part of student life here. They were introduced to UCR’s rowing society O.D.I.N., created festival outfits at Kilo Sale Zeeland, took on a creative family-photo challenge at De Drvkkery, stopped for ice cream at FRESCO and visited De Klepperhoeve to spend some time with the animals.

On Monday, the Beach Walk took them from Middelburg towards Dishoek, with several stops along the way. Students met members of A.L. Fides, competed against O.M.D. Erodios in a flip-cup challenge, took a short trampoline break and eventually arrived at the beach for swimming, rugby, water fights and some well-earned time together.

Behind all of the games and challenges is an important purpose.

Introweek helps new students become familiar with University College Roosevelt, Middelburg and the wider community around them. It gives them opportunities to meet current students, build friendships and begin feeling at home before their studies fully begin.

And this was only part of their Orientation Week.

Students also explored the UCR buildings, met their tutors, learned more about well-being and student support at UCR, discovered the library, joined pub crawls and quizzes, and celebrated together at the final Introweek party.

🎥 Part 2 is coming soon, featuring more moments captured by members of the UCR Media Team, including the UCR campus experience and the final party.

At the beginning of the week, there were 12 families competing for stamps.

By the end, there was one new UCR community. 💙

One of the biggest decisions when choosing a university is not just what you will study. It is who you will become because of it.

The people who thrive after university are often the ones who know how to adapt, communicate, think critically, and work across different perspectives.

That is why so many UCR alumni end up in completely different industries, countries, and career paths.

Not because they followed one fixed route.
Because they learned how to navigate change, complexity, and opportunity.

Your degree is important.
But the way you learn matters too.

👉 Where do you hope your degree will take you?

Today, we extend a warm welcome to our newest students as they join the UCR community for Orientation.

Orientation is designed to help students feel at home, build connections with their peers, and gain valuable insights into university life. Through Orientation, students will learn more about campus resources, academic expectations, student services, and the many opportunities available to enrich their university experience.

Starting university is an exciting milestone, and we are committed to supporting our students as they embark on this new chapter. We encourage everyone to take advantage of today’s opportunities, ask questions, make new connections, and begin building a strong foundation for success.
We are delighted to welcome you to UCR and look forward to being part of your journey. Welcome to the UCR family!

A good CV is not about trying to sound impressive.

It is about making it easy for someone to quickly understand who you are, what you can do, and why they should remember you.

A lot of students underestimate how much small changes can improve a CV. Clear structure, specific examples, and showing impact make a huge difference.

And no, you do not need years of experience to have a strong CV. Projects, student societies, volunteering, part time jobs, and internships all count.

👉 Which CV tip do you think most students overlook?

How much can students learn from examining the human skeleton?

During a practical Functional Anatomy class at University College Roosevelt, Biomedical Sciences students worked with real human skeletal material under the supervision of Dr. Babette O. Rump.

Students carefully assembled and examined the bones, using anatomical characteristics to draw evidence-based conclusions about factors such as estimated biological s*x and age range. By comparing the pelvis, vertebrae, skull and other skeletal structures, they applied knowledge from the course in a practical and collaborative setting.

Functional Anatomy invites students to explore how the human body works and how anatomical structures support function. Through imaging, surface anatomy and real dissection materials, students learn to observe carefully, discuss their findings and translate scientific knowledge into reasoned conclusions.

The course also introduces an important ethical dimension. Alongside the scientific learning, students are encouraged to reflect on the responsibility involved in studying human remains and to consider the question:

What are the ethical costs of learning from the dead?

This combination of hands-on experience, academic depth and ethical reflection illustrates the interdisciplinary approach to Biomedical Sciences within Liberal Arts and Sciences at University College Roosevelt.

What if, instead of simply taking an exam, students had to use everything they had learned to invent an entirely new disease?

That was the challenge Professor Ger Rijkers gave students during a Biomedical Sciences class at University College Roosevelt in Middelburg.

After studying the mechanisms behind real diseases, students were asked to develop a fictional disease from scratch. They had to consider its symptoms, underlying biological mechanisms, prevalence, possible treatment and other characteristics needed to create a scientifically coherent concept.

The assignment culminated in presentations to the class, where students explained and defended their ideas before voting for their favorite, a process Ger jokingly compares to the Eurovision Song Contest.

And the winners did not leave empty-handed.

Professor Rijkers presented them with an appropriately humorous medical-themed prize, including a toy doctor's hammer and “medicines.”

Behind the fun is an important approach to learning.

Rather than only recalling information, students are challenged to apply scientific knowledge, think critically, communicate complex concepts and use creativity to solve problems.

It is one example of the interactive learning environment within Liberal Arts & Sciences at University College Roosevelt, where small classes in Middelburg give students opportunities to engage directly with their professors and actively participate in the learning process.
