Rebecca Hamers, NHTV, BA winner 2017
"After graduating with honors from my university, I received an e-mail from the edcom representative of my school. He asked if I was interested in submitting my thesis to the edcom thesis competition. As I was honored by his e-mail and proud of the work I delivered, I obviously said yes. Even though I didn't have many expectations in the beginning, I got more and more excited every time I received a message that I made it through to the next round. I was absolutely over the moon to find out that I won first place in the Bachelor's category: it means that I will be attending the EACA International Summer School in Prague! I am very happy and thankful for the opportunities edcom has provided me, and the experience has taught me that hard work always pays off. I am excited to see what the future holds!"
