Maastricht University’s Supervisory Board has reappointed Professor Rianne Letschert as Rector Magnificus for a second four-year term starting on 1 September 2020. The Supervisory Board’s resolution takes into account the recommendations of the University Council, the Board of Deans and the other members of the Executive Board.
‘We are very pleased that Professor Letschert will remain in her position at our university for a second term,’ says Annelies van der Pauw, chair of the Supervisory Board. ‘Her positive contribution is of great value, not only as Rector but also as a member of the Executive Board. As an enthusiastic and energetic team, the Executive Board implements our strategy as described in the strategic programme Community at the CORE. As a result, a range of important steps has been implemented ensuring UM is an inclusive university that is firmly anchored in the region, the Euregion and beyond.’
Rianne Letschert is delighted about her reappointment: ‘I am very pleased that the Supervisory Board, Martin Paul and Nick Bos, the Deans and the University Council would like me to continue for another period. It gives me great pleasure to work for our great university, and in my second term I will continue to work to make it even more wonderful for everyone who works or studies here. As far as our external profile is concerned, I will continue my efforts to show the influence we have as a university on the city, the region, the country and far beyond, and to increase it where possible.’
The members of the Executive Board are Professor Martin Paul (President), Professor Rianne Letschert (Rector) and Dr Nick Bos (Vice-President).
