INSEAD’s global alumni network of more than 46,000 members from 156 nationalities will come together for a special day of celebration of the school’s community and values, today, September 12, 2013. To showcase the INSEAD spirit, the school’s alumni associations worldwide are holding events to mark the inaugural GLOBAL INSEAD DAY.
September 12 was selected to coincide with the anniversary of the first opening ceremony for MBA students at INSEAD in 1959. In commemorating this day, the school intends to invoke the thrill and excitement of each opening ceremony over the past five decades and channel it into a celebration of INSEAD across the different continents. In doing so, INSEAD also highlights its unique status as the only business school with multiple campuses, contributing to its renown as the world’s most prestigious and diverse management institution.
The INSEAD Alumni Associations established across 46 countries were founded by volunteers who wanted to keep alive the many fond memories of their time at INSEAD and help form a seamless network of graduates brought together by the shared INSEAD experience.
Global INSEAD Day will provide an opportunity for all alumni to celebrate their INSEAD experience in unison with all other alumni as well as the current students and faculty, doing so in a way that reflects their own personal experiences at INSEAD. What has INSEAD meant for the different communities? The day should be celebrated in a way that is reflective of everyone’s own experiences at INSEAD.
