Oh Groningen I love you
Can't stop thinking of you
No matter what I do
Grunnen on my mind
This is the chorus of the Alumni Song. The song is composed by University staff member and alumnus Dicky Gilbers; Library staff member Frank den Hollander wrote the lyrics. University student Bart van Overbeek (known from The Voice of Holland 2010) and sixties-coverband The OutTakes recorded the Alumni Song at the Studio Spitsbergen in Zuidbroek.
De Alumni Song was launched at the opening of the Academic Year on September 5, 2011.
