Meet your ambassadors and discover the available clubs at one of our Welcome Parties!

Each year, the 360 volunteer ambassadors from the EDHEC Alumni community are on hand to usher in the new academic year and give you an opportunity to learn about their clubs. Welcome Parties give participants the chance to chat, make new acquaintances and expand their professional and social network within their region. From Rio to Hong Kong, students and graduates around the world are invited to meet with their local club members and share a meal or a drink. You will soon be able to add the date of your local Welcome Party to your diary. 

In order to stay informed about all the EDHEC events in your city or region, be sure to update your profile and join the local club of your choice.

Special Welcome Party representing Professional and Leisure clubs in Paris

All 31 professional and leisure clubs will be on display in the French capital, where their ambassadors are ready to welcome you to the EDHEC campus to share a cocktail. This event will also be an opportunity for all students and graduates to learn more about the vocation and ambitions of these clubs and perhaps even to sign up to a few. Now might be a good time to take up a sport or enhance your knowledge of wine (no, the two are not incompatible)!

Sponsorship programme in Lille and Nice

In 2013, more than 25% of EDHEC’s campuses was made up of overseas students, many of whom have little knowledge of France and French culture. The sponsorship programme involving EDHEC graduates and new overseas students was set up to address this reality. Its aim is to help these students to better integrate and give them a chance to learn about the culture of France and EDHEC and establish links with a local family. They are asked to answer a series of questions about their expectations, hobbies and career plans, after which they are put in contact with graduates who correspond to their profile. This year’s sponsorship programme will be launched at the Welcome Parties due to be held on the Lille and Nice campuses.
