It is with great sadness that we announce that former Bedrijfskunde student, Brasil Wouters, recently died of cancer at the much too young age of 22.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>

Brasil studied the Bachelor in Bedrijfskunde at RSM between 2017 and 2020 and her plan was to continue in the Master in Supply Chain Management programme. She was wonderfully optimistic and very much dedicated to her studies and even after her diagnosis had planned on taking some master courses to stay connected with the Supply Chain Management community. However, due to her illness she decided to postpone her studies to temporarily focus on the fun things in life and wanted to return the next academic year. We were looking forward to welcoming her back.<\/p>\n

Always there for others<\/h2>

Brasil was an active member in RSM\u2019s study association, STAR, where she held various roles, including chair and treasurer of the RSM Eureka Week Committee in 2018\/2019. The STAR activity team, the BA study trip, the International Care Committee and STAR Erasmus Consulting also benefitted greatly from her commitment and effort.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, Brasil took a big interest in supporting the local community of Rotterdam, where she was very much involved in the Talent Competition of\u00a0Rotterdam 100<\/em>\u00a0and committed to her work for\u00a0After\u2019s Cool<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 a programme assisting secondary school students with their homework.<\/p>\n

Paying tribute to Brasil<\/h2>

But most of all, Brasil\u00a0was a lover of music. She was an avid visitor of famous pop festivals such as Lowlands and was a regular guest at the legendary Dutch music temple Paradiso Amsterdam.\u00a0 Having been\u00a0informed about her illness, the organizers of\u00a0Lowland Festileaks<\/em>\u00a0organized an impressive tribute to Brasil and her passion for music- a Lowlands concert dedicated to her \u2013 in the Paradiso. The\u00a0images and sound of the event<\/a>\u00a0say everything about how much she impacted the lives of those around her. She will be greatly missed.<\/p>\n

A memorial has been set up on T-5 of the Mandeville building for those who wish to pay their respects. Our thoughts are with Brasil\u2019s parents Jos and Erly and with Rover and Artis: we wish them strength with bearing this loss.<\/p>\n
