Hello Everyone,

I am from ICV2E and I had the honour to learn about various fields of communication from two excellent teachers. Two teachers that are committed, dedicated and always willing to help us out in difficult situations.

On top of that, both teachers have actual knowledge and experience about the professional world out there and can teach us way beyond the theory…

You might have guessed it already: I am talking about Rob Vogel and Geerte Frenken.

Two amazing teachers that were asked to leave Hanze due to expiring contracts.

In my opinion, that’s a shame! Even quite hard to understand since the two of them are excellent teachers that have much more to offer than assessing reports.

Teachers that share their experiences with us, guide many of us through projects, exam preparations, tools portfolios and many other issues on the side - are the ones preparing us for the real world. Both Rob and Geerte motivate, challenge and teach us at Hanze.

We do not want them to leave!

The goal of this petition is to stimulate Hanze to reconsider their decision of letting

Rob and Geerte go.

We, as communication students in 2016, but also all future communication students, want to benefit from working with these engaged teachers - to be guided by their experience, knowledge, skills and passion for the profession.

If you, as a student or teacher, agree that Rob and Geerte should stay, please leave your signature!
