TEC on Campus

TEC on Campus was launched in the USA by Gary Brinderson and started at HEC Paris as the pioneer program in Europe in 2005. Since then, more than 700 MBA students have joined this original peer-advisory group that has earned a worldwide reputation for the quality of its leadership development approach.

In an era of immense complexity and unprecedented global challenges, the program's primary goal is to help students define their personal values and life purpose, ultimately shaping them into the best people and business leaders who will have a positive impact on society and within organizations.

As part of HEC Talents' career offering, this unique program provides students a sounding board of trusted peers who offer them diverse perspectives to help them make better decisions in their personal and professional lives while discussing key topics such as leadership, diversity or emotional intelligence. That experience is deepened by two other activities:

• One-on-one personalized mentorship sessions with TEC on Campus Co-Chairs Bernard Bismuth, Marie France George and Thierry Voiriot to help students reflect on and develop their life and career choices, as well as their personal purpose and philosophy.
• Guest speaker meetings with business leaders from all business horizons, who share professional advice and who open up about the personal challenges they have faced.

The program is currently open to a limited number of MBAs in September (36 students) and in January (24 students), who come together in a confidential and safe environment.

TEC on Campus is for MBA students who are willing to actively reflect upon their own successes and failures, who are not afraid to question themselves, and who are ready to talk others in the TEC community, growing personally and professionally to become impactful leaders in the future.

"My TEC experience laid the foundation for deep and long-term changes in my life. After six months I have learned a lot about trade-offs, decision-making, and leading from outstanding speakers, my fellow TEC-colleagues, and my mentor. TEC has helped me sharpen my vision of life, my understanding of who I am, and guided me in my decision for the immediate next step after the MBA." Chano Casal,MBA '25
