Celebrating 25 years of liberal arts and sciences in Utrecht - On Friday the celebration gets underway. After a campus tour and lunch, the official opening ceremony will take place on campus, followed by an afternoon of academic activities and scholarly debate. In the evening we will have the opportunity to celebrate and have some fun, with dinner from local food trucks, and drinks, live music and a film screening. We look forward to welcoming not only University College Utrecht staff, students and alumni but also our wider Utrecht University family, counterparts from the University Colleges in the Netherlands, and the neighbouring Utrecht Oost community as we open our campus for the festivities.
