HEC Imagine Fellows Evening at the French Residence in Geneva
On Monday, April 15, nearly 80 members of the Swiss Alumni community, representatives of international organizations, HEC students, and staff gathered at the French Residence in Geneva to highlight the HEC Imagine Fellows program.
Around Eloïc Peyrache, Dean of HEC, Adrien Nussenbaum (H.01), founding donor of the program, and Olivier Richard (H.85), President of the HEC Switzerland Chapter, this evening was an opportunity to present the ambition of the HEC Imagine Fellows program, to explain the implementation of the Business & Peace and Business & Human Rights themes within HEC Paris programs, and to be moved by the poignant testimonies of Olha Vasyliv and Behishta Nazir, two scholarship recipients who shared their remarkable journeys.
HEC Imagine Fellows brings peace and hope to young talents who have had to flee their countries. Its aim is to train future leaders at HEC who are aware of political and human rights issues, convinced that business can be a catalyst for stability, reconstruction, and peace.
A big thank you to Christine Toudic, Deputy Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations Office, who, along with her team, warmly welcomed us to the French Residence. We also thank everyone who attended for sharing this memorable evening with us.
