News from ESSEC USA Community

New York Get-together, September Review

"Back to school" was a great success at "L'Ecole" where about 10 alumni enjoyed a wonderful 5 course dinner. From Essec to Epsci, young to older generation, recent arrivals and members of the Essec USA board talked about business, tips on living in New York, current affairs and of course exchanged contact information. Everyone had a lot of fun. Isn't this what Essec USA is all about?

Metro's Party on the Pier is a citywide welcoming event for newly arrived international students & Fulbright scholars who'll be studying at college and universities in the greater New York metropolitan area.

Holiday Event in New York City

Mark your agenda for December 5th in New York. It will be our "Holiday Event", a casual lunch organized with the Cornell University Alumni. We will give you more info soon ... let's show that Essec counts in the New York business life. Alumni from other cities, don't hesitate to organize your business meeting on that day so we can all enjoy it together. 

 

Be part of the winning team

Put in on your agenda: April 2003 will be the second Annual Newsmaker panel organized by Essec USA in New York. Our top notch panel (did we disappoint you in 2002?) will talk and argue about "international business ethic and corporate governance". Things are moving, the team is brainstorming and still welcoming new additions. Maybe you have some time available to help us building this event, or be their on the d-day to welcome our guests, or you have valuable contacts to share with us for sponsors or panelists. Don't hesitate to contact Christian Betheuil. We will keep you informed here ... and will contact directly!
