Prof. Duyvesteyn is writing a letter of recommendation for her former student Wessel van Beelen. She taught Wessel in a bachelor's course on Strategic Studies, where he showed great enthusiasm for learning and high-level academic thinking. Wessel displayed a strong interest in strategic theories and debates and skillfully combined theory and evidence in his research papers. Prof. Duyvesteyn is convinced that Wessel will be a great addition to the recipient's master's program, as he has the necessary quality, knowledge, and analytical skills. She warmly recommends Wessel.
