Alumni Campus Day : 200 graduates back on the campus

And yet, the 200 alumni who signed up for the 5^th EDHEC Alumni Campus Day quickly felt at home on their new campus where they came to celebrate their Class Year anniversary. Our alumni were captivated by Geert Demuijnck presentation on "La place de l’éthique dans la performance des entreprises” .

Once the question and answer session was over and our alumni’s curiosity satisfied, the  7 Class Years present were given a guided tour of the new Lille campus. From ultramodern lecture halls to fully equipped halls of residence, today's students greatly enjoyed showing their predecessors around the campus. The presence of members of student associations gave some of the alumni a chance to chat about how their former associations have developed since they left.

During the plenary session, the alumni were able to discover just how far their school has progressed. Covering topics ranging from the rankings, projects and global programmes, Olivier Oger, Dean of EDHEC Business School, reminded the audience of the crucial nature of their commitment to the development and image of the school. Their testimonials, their time and their donations remain a precious asset, even 60 years after they graduated.

The moment finally came to announce the best represented Class on this unforgettable Campus Day. Congratulations to the class of 1979, who managed to get over 20% of the original student body to turn out, 35 years after graduating! The Classes of '94, '1989 and MBA were all hot on its heels. The champagne flowed as old friends and colleagues got together to enjoy this unique moment.

After a photo session for posterity, the former students gathered for an aperitif in the school forum. While certain classes tasted the delicacies served in the campus restaurant, others continued to celebrate the reunion in town…How it ended is for you to say!

Emotion, memories, sharing and caring… you all passed with flying colours.

See you in 5 years !
