Erasmus University Association Guidebook

Where will you belong?

Be green Want to be part of a greener campus? Us too... That is is why Sustainable RSM

created this online guidebook.

The flyers used at Erasmus University are responsible for tremendous waste

creation, mainly to promote events and recruitment, essentially, to reach you.

Our goal is to abolish flyers on campus. Lets turn our attention to online solutions

and avoid the abundance of flyers on campus.

We hope you can support our cause!

Sincerely,

The Flyer Initiative
