Alumni associations

Within the faculty, the following alumni associations are active:

Alumni Algemeen Pedagogische Wetenschappen (AAPW

The Alumni Association from Pedagogical Sciences (AAPW) was founded in 2010 to create a social network for alumni, the Department and present-day students. It was initiated by ex-students from the Master Programme of Pedagogical Sciences who had as specialization the young child, youth or lifelong learning.

The Alumni Association Educational Sciences Groningen (AVOG)

As an alumnus of the Master's in Educational Sciences, stay connected to a network of other alumni of the programme!

The Alumni Association Educational Sciences Groningen is there to maintain and promote contacts between the Master's programme in Educational Sciences and its alumni, and between alumni among themselves. The association tries to contribute to the networking and professionalisation of alumni Educational Sciences.

Specifically, the AVOG organises an annual alumni activity where alumni can meet each other. Besides space for meeting, the activity always includes a content, such as a workshop or lecture focusing on an educational theme.

An annual newsletter is also sent out from the association containing, for example an overview of the master's theses written in the past academic year and other news from the study programme and GION. The newsletter also features an ‘alumnus in the spotlight’ who talks about his or her work.

 In addition, the AVOG has its own group on LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com, group: Education RUG).

In this group, all members can post messages, including vacancies. We have also opened the group to students of Educational Sciences.

The board of the AVOG currently consists of:

  • chairman Prof. dr. Hilda Amsing (University of Groningen);
  • secretary Mandy Foekens-van Oostwaard Msc. (Stichting Pedagogisch Onderwijs);
  • treasurer Marleen Havinga Msc. (Teacher at Openbaar Onderwijs Groningen);
  • Dominique Derks Msc. (Woningcorporatie Wold & Waard);

 The membership fee of the Alumni Association is 15 euros per year. Member Become a member? Then fill in the authorisation form

Alumni Orthopedagogiek

Within the Department Special Needs Education we feel the need to exchange knowledge and experience with (recent) graduates who work in the context of Special Education.

The main objective of this association is to exchange information between alumni and our department about education and research. Next to this goal, the social aspect is very important in relation to the association, as well.

If you are interested in our alumni association, you can register to it, using the link ‘Opgaveformulier voor de alumnivereniging Orthopedagogiek’ (Dutch)
