Blending a new route

If you want your students to develop into self-directing professionals with guts , then of course you give them every opportunity to make a great magazine . On the occasion of the 55th anniversary of Breda University of Applied Sciences , our students were given complete freedom to come up with a very special edition of Blend for students and staff .
We knew , of course , that something beautiful would come out of this . Years ago , our official , institute-wide and old school university newspaper ‘ En Route ’ was taken over by students . In their own in-school Production House , they turned it into a catchy magazine and that , of course , fits in perfectly with the curriculum of our Creative Business programme . En Route became Brewed and later on there was Blend , which means as much as ‘ bringing together ’ and ‘ mixing ’, and that is exactly what we do on campus and in our BUas community . But ‘ en route ’ we still are . On our way to a bright future , which we are shaping together .
To shape this wonderful magazine , our students dived into the history of our institute and the making of our beautiful campus , they collected great stories from the BUas community , selected the best ‘ 55 ’ songs and came up with a lot of interesting content . In my opinion , they did a great job ‘ en route ’, they brought beautiful things together and managed to make a perfect mix of it . A great example of the BUas + organisation we want to be .
See for yourself and enjoy reading !
