20 years of promotion: SKEMA alumni celebrate their reunion

Joy and emotion on the agenda!

Drawing on feedback from the graduates of 2024, the Alumni department decided to change the format of the anniversaries by bringing together three successive classes.

So, in mid-March, alumni who had met twenty years earlier met up again on their home campuses. Returning to the places that marked their student lives, they relived together the key moments of their passage to adulthood and were able to measure the distance they had travelled since graduating.

In the presence of Charlotte Gaudin-Miles, Alumni Director, on the Lille campus, and Fabienne Buon, Network and Event Coordinator, on the Sophia Antipolis campus, our graduates were welcomed for a toque d'honneur ceremony, reinforcing their sense of belonging to SKEMA. It was also an opportunity to discuss each graduate's career path since entering the workforce, and to share with them the school's progress and steady rise in the rankings.

Festive evenings to prolong the reunion

The graduates then organized a series of convivial evenings, offering everyone a privileged moment of sharing and camaraderie.

• SKEMA 2004: Claire Mougeot, Gonzague Mahé des Portes

Alumni's testimonies

"A big thank you for this wonderful initiative and the realization of the project. Having been active in associations in the past, I loved the tour of the campus and the associations. The young students who welcomed us were very nice. I'm proud to be a Skémienne.

"Taking part in this meeting was a great opportunity to reconnect with alumni and strengthen our belonging to this network, which remains a valuable resource both professionally and personally. It was a pleasure to get back to the campus and observe its evolution, testifying to the dynamism and adaptability of our institution. Thank you."

"A reunion with a large number of people I hadn't seen since the ESC years. A moment suspended in time, very moving, which recreated new bonds."

To the question "Did this event strengthen your sense of belonging to the SKEMA Alumni community?", put to the 320 participants after the event, 100% of responses were positive.
Thank you to all our alumni for attending and for putting so much heart into this reunion.
