As we transition from a summer filled with the exhilarating highs of the Olympics and Paralympics Games, it’s time to shift gears and focus on a new kind of excitement—returning to school! September marks the start of another academic year, and we’re thrilled to kick things off with the traditional London Finance study trip. Next week, we’re welcoming 300 HEC finance students: we are deeply grateful to the Alumni who have graciously agreed to host these students in their companies or participate in our networking sessions. Your support not only enriches their experience but also strengthens the bonds within our network. Thank you!
Looking ahead, we’re also gearing up for the visit of the Strategic Management students in October. This will be another chance to engage with eager learners and share your expertise and experiences. Your involvement is what makes these programs truly impactful. If you’re interested in welcoming students into your company or participating in our networking evening, please contact us—we’d love to have you be a part of this enriching experience.
Here’s to a successful start to the academic year and to the exciting opportunities that lie ahead!
Kind regards,
Your HEC in the UK Team
