Guillaume: Building a Pisco imperium in Mexico
|
|
In August the first batch of his own Pisco arrives from Peru. This transparent brandy made by distilling fermented grape juice has determined Guillaume’s whereabouts for the last two years.
Guillaume Hansart has been living in Mexico since 2013. After three years in the consulting business he started dreaming about being his own boss. He believes, his own business should evolve around something tangible, something real.

This column features three alumni from the same study programme. Graduated in different cohorts, they're now working in various positions and branches. For this edition we interviewed Davide, Simone and Pablo who graduated from the Management of Learning master.
Students and alumni from this programme are known for their commitment and strong community feeling. Therefore they are determined to come back to Maastricht for the annual MoL day on June 27th!

The Ironman triathlon, taking place in Maastricht for the 4th time this year, is one of a series of long-distance triathlon races organized by the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC), consisting of 3.86 km swim, a 180.25 km bicycle ride and a marathon 42.20 km run, raced in that order and without a break.
Three alumni of UM will be taking on this challenge on Sunday August 5th.

Your personal details at Maastricht University
|
|
This is something you will not have missed: new European regulations in the field of privacy were introduced in May 2018. Like many other organisations, UM has been working hard to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG in Dutch). In addition to student data, UM also manages alumni data. This is not only because of the university's legal obligation to keep records, but also because as a graduate you remain part of the academic community and because we hope that you will continue to be actively involved in UM.

A longer and healthier life for women!
|
|
Unfortunately, considerably more women than men die of heart problems or cardiovascualair diseases; it's even cause of death no.1!
Chahinda Ghossein, a cardiologist in training and researcher on woman-specific medicine, wants to use the placenta to be able to predict these diseases and hereby drastically improve the health of women in the future.
The Dutch Heart Foundation supports her crowdfunding campaign and doubles every donation made for this cause.
