History
STAR was established with the namechange, when the association went more international. Formerly STAR was known as Sviib, which was the student association for business administration students founded in 1977. Sviib is the abbreviation of 'Studievereniging Interuniversitaire Interfaculteit Bedrijfskunde' and was established by early business administration students. At the time, business administration was a post-doctoral study, mainly for graduates in engineering. The business administration study, or IIB (Interuniversitair Instituut Bedrijfskunde), offered by the Nederlandse Economische Hogeschool (NEH, now Erasmus University Rotterdam) was a joint venture with the Delft University of Technology. In 1984, this was fully incorporated in the Erasmus University Rotterdam as the Faculty of Business Administration for undergraduates and Rotterdam School of Management for graduates. Ten years later, in 2004, these two departments merged into Rotterdam School of Management Erasmus University.
The above mentioned Faculty of Business Administration at the Erasmus University Rotterdam consisted of two studies for undergraduates: Business Administration and International Business Administration. The latter had its own dedicated student association, named BActive. BActive was found in 1999. The fusion took place in August 2005. STAR is the only association working closely together with RSM.
