Dear HEC alumni in the UK, We wish you a very happy and healthy new year! In spite of the current circumstances, January is often that time of year when we reflect, and think about our goals and resolutions. Reflection on 2021 for us is that we have acted as a laboratory for testing new things and this made us all go beyond borders. Our online events are now followed not only in London but in the entire world. We also bring the entire world to the campus, from London virtually, bringing new perspectives and opening the minds of our students. And we are continuing to experiment and have opened a virtual office in Italy from London. As you can see – we are pushing the borders!
Our goals at HEC in the UK are to continue increasing our outreach in the UK, enriching the lives of our students on campus and nurturing our vibrant alumni community in the UK! If you’d like to be part of this journey, please contact us! We are always looking for volunteers or corporate ambassadors, so please send us a message if you’d like to connect and discuss with us. The year is starting with a few very exciting events, as early as next week the German Chapter has organized a Masterclass with Alberto Alemanno, and we know a number of you will join online.
