‘Alumnus teaching at a Texan university: pizza, guns and heated debate in the lecture theatre’

Americans are electing a new president in November but they also have other choices to make in the polling booth. Alumnus Sanne Rijkhoff works at a Texas university and is trying to help make students more aware of the elections.

Did your family also study in Leiden?

Did your grandparents study in Leiden as well? What about your parents, uncles, and aunts? We are seeking to highlight families with multiple generations of Leiden students for the special alumni website created for the anniversary of Leiden University.
