The SKEMA Alumni community is growing!

The SKEMA network is growing: on 2 June it will be welcoming this year’s new graduates during an emotion-filled day!

More than 2,500 graduates will be invited to take their first steps into the great SKEMA Alumni family during the graduation ceremony held at the Zénith in Paris and will then be able to celebrate their wonderful achievement during SKEMA’s prestigious gala event, in the exceptional setting provided the Pavillon d’Armenonville.

More than 6,000 people, including families, friends, loved ones and teachers, will come and cheer the new graduates, who will take to the stage of one of France’s most famous entertainment venues for the occasion! This year we are organising two ceremonies in order to properly accommodate the new graduates of the Class of 2017 from the “Bachelor”, “STEM” and Grande Ecole programmes, and those of the Class of 2018 postgraduate programmes (MS/MSc, DBA, EMBA, Phd).

This exciting day will be punctuated by speeches made by guests of honour and members of SKEMA’s management team, and it will continue in a festive atmosphere at the sumptuous Pavillon d’Armenonville. In order to cater as best as possible to different preferences, this gala event will be divided into two parts: a prestigious cocktail reception with entertainment, followed by a lively party. On one side the graduation ball and on the other ‘Salon Alumni’, a space set up for SKEMA Alumni to welcome the new graduates.
To the sound of jazzy tunes, this will be the first major opportunity for the newcomers to connect with the older alumni – who contribute to developing the network – invited by SKEMA Alumni for the occasion.

A first opportunity for these alumni to share their knowledge and experience with this new generation! Members of the SKEMA management team and the entire SKEMA Alumni team will also be there.

With more than 8,000 students on 6 international campuses (Lille, Paris, Sophia Antipolis, Suzhou, Raleigh and Belo Horizonte), and over 43,000 SKEMA Alumni members, SKEMA is one of France’s top 10 business schools.
