UNESCO-IHE says farewell to Rector Meganck
Professor Richard Meganck, Rector of UNESCO-IHE, celebrated his retirement on 2 July, 2009, with staff and students, after having served a six-year period as Rector at the Institute for Water Education in Delft, the Netherlands. He will officially retire on 4 September 2009.
The afternoon was filled with farewell messages and well-wishes from friends and colleagues from within the Institute as well as from around the world as shown on screen in the auditorium.
Dance performances by staff and students provided a welcome variation between the speeches. The festivities continued in the Institutes cafeteria and garden where everyone had a chance to say goodbye to the Rector.
