Nyenrode's Alumni Association called VCV (Voortgezette Compagnie van Verre), was founded in 1954 as a logical continuance of the NCV. The alumni felt the need to treasure the close bond they had built during their studies. They wanted to keep the feeling the unique experience of studying and living together at the estate alive. The VCV distinguishes itself from other alumni associations in many ways: it is the largest and strongest association, which is independent from the university and has its own regulations and finances.
The VCV is founded to offer activities both in the professional as in the social field, and not just to network or to attract funding for the universities, as is the case in most other alumni associations. Herman Bruggink, former president of Nyenrode, honorary member of the VCV and board member of the Nyenrode Foundation: "the VCV is key to Nyenrode's very existence. Nyenrode will only exist if its network thinks it should exist."
In June 2010, Nyenrode's Rector Magnificus, Prof. Dr. Maurits van Rooijen, asked the VCV to handle all Nyenrode's alumni relations, both degree students from the Business School or the School of Accountancy and Controlling, as well as Executive alumni from both schools. After a vote by the Board of Representatives of the VCV the Rector's request was accepted and so it will be done.
