When Karl Dittrich returned to Maastricht in 1981, UM's Faculty of Law had no classrooms or students. Just big ambitions.

Looking back 45 years later in this #UM50 sttory, he calls them “the best years of my life.”

And there's a story about losing half his moustache, too. 👀

Two UM medical students realised they had never learned how to check their own breasts. So they started Busted.

Today, the UM student initiative runs breast-health workshops in the Netherlands and abroad — and is looking for new students to carry the work forward. edu.nl/bwpng

UM’s first employee started before UM even existed.

In 1970, Bep Weijenberg-Habets joined the team working to bring a medical faculty to Maastricht. Years later, she returned to UM as a law student and graduated cum laude.

What does she remember most? edu.nl/3p9xv
