A visit to the U-M by the distinguished Dutch writer Bert Schierbeek in 1979 inspired the University to approach the Stichting voor Vertalingen [Foundation for the Translation of Dutch Literary Work] in Amsterdam about the possibility of co-funding a Dutch Writer-in-Residence. We succeeded, and Bert Schierbeek returned to the University for the academic year 1981-1982 as the first tenant of the position. The program has run continuously ever since, attracting a long list of other luminaries:
- Philo Bregstein
- Mischa de Vreede
- Peter Ten Hoopen
- Arie van den Berg
- Renate Dorrestein
- Graa Boomsma
- Henk van Kerkwijk
- Mia Meijer
- Herman Stevens
- Martin Bril
- Robert Vernooy
- Daphne Meijer
- Renee Huigen
- Patty Scholten
