TU Delft - Student Development - UNLOCKING… Matthieu de Schipper - 8/10

Yes equals No In this refreshing and encouraging interview, Dr. ir. Matthieu de Schipper, Assistant Professor Coastal Engineering, shares with us the experience of the perfect wave, why it takes courage to say no, and how on the one hand he dreams of being free to go surfing every day but on the other hand very much enjoys his work for the university with inspiring colleagues and students. UNLOCKING … Educators of TU Delft Do you know your educators well? What drives them? What is their vision on learning, self-development and well-being? And what lessons have they learned so far? Through a series of 10 interviews with educators from the TU Delft, Career & Counselling Services aims to shed a more positive light on well-being. The personal stories and insights shared by those who are often only seen in their position as teacher, scientist or executive may show that the struggles and doubts you may have as a student are an inevitable component of your growth process. The stories provide insight into the various ways you may bounce back, they show where these people get their resilience, what and who has made them stronger. It sometimes takes years before you realize something, and occasionally there is a flash of insight. Examples of experience may help speed up the learning process, and sometimes make it a little less painful. And there is no path that is better than another; hopefully at least one of the paths resonates with you.
