EMBA Alumni Reunion - July 2022

Welcome

Dear Alumni,

On behalf of INSEAD, I am pleased to welcome you back to campus for your 5th, 10th and 15th year reunions, starting on the evening of Friday 15 July, and extending through Saturday 16 July. It will be a mixed reunion to include those who are not only in their reunion year, but combined with the classes that we were not able to welcome back due to the pandemic.

This will be a fantastic opportunity to connect with one another, catch up with some of your favourite faculty, and meet with the EMBA alumni from 9 different years. The strength and breadth of our community is unprecedented, and has grown to now 2293 GEMBA and 466 TIEMBA alumni globally!

The success of INSEAD is very much thanks to the close relationship between our alumni and the school. You are our best ambassadors, and please know how grateful we are for the important role you play. Some of you help in our marketing efforts or interview our applicants, and all of you extend our brand and reputation around the world. You help keep our community focused on the mission we all share, and on the impact we have when we stand together.

I hope that you will be able to join us and enjoy the activities that we have planned for you. I look forward to personally welcoming you back to Fontainebleau in July.

Best wishes,

Urs Peyer
INSEAD Dean of Degree Programmes

The Salamander awards

The INSEAD Alumni Fund (IAF), originally founded by Alumni more than 40 years ago, serves as a vital source of financial support for the School. We extend a warm thank you to all of you who have generously participated in the anniversary reunion appeals this year, your generosity enables INSEAD to preserve its place among the world’s best business schools. For more information about the IAF or should you wish to make a donation, please visit the IAF booth in the lobby.

INSEAD is delighted to recognise donors whose cumulative giving has reached specific levels:

Originally the insignia of the French king François I and later that of the town of Fontainebleau, this mythical creature representing the virtue of perseverance, was adopted as the symbol of the INSEAD Alumni Association. Since 1987, the Salamander awards have been representing INSEAD’s lasting gratitude to its donors. Salamander level donors are celebrated at alumni reunions and at INSEAD events around the world.
