Hanze Feather

By means of the Hanze Feather, Hanze University of Applied Sciences expresses its appreciation for employees who, through their commitment, network, activities or achievements, have made an important contribution to the Hanze or a part of it, which goes beyond the normal performance of their duties.

The Hanze Feather was designed by Sanne Olde Monnikhof – alumnus of the Minerva Art Academy – and consists of a bronze sculpture of a feather of a scaup (a type of diving duck). Below you find an overview of Hanze Feathers awarded.
