Finally, we've reunited in person!
CEMS was finally able to come together with in-person gatherings after rough few years owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Global Alumni Week (GAW) has provided excellent learning and networking opportunities for students and alumni both locally and globally. All CEMS stakeholders take part of this yearly event, including representatives from the CEMS Student Board, local CEMS Clubs, CEMS Corporate Partners, Schools, Local Alumni Chapters, CEMS Entrepreneurs, and students. Participants had the opportunity to meet in-person and network with other CEMSies, as well as connect, exchange, and learn from one another. This year, the CEMS GAW included virtual and physical events around the globe.
"The CEMS GAW is a fantastic opportunity to network with other alumni from a variety of industries and learn about their challenges and experiences. After all, that's what CEMS is all about: building a global network."
A wide range of events from around the world
The GAW in 2022 involved alumni and students through two global events and 12 local events that spanned five time zones and included everything from rotating industry conversations and tech/start-up nights to social activities including rotational dinners, apéro mingles, minigolf. During this year’s global event, Barbara Cominelli and Angela Honegger, CEMS Alumni of the Year 2021 winners, conducted a webinar titled "New Ways of Leading"; during GAW 2022, where they addressed how dramatically leadership has changed throughout the last years, especially during the pandemic. This year's GAW explored into different topics such as leadership, entrepreneurship, career management, tech, among others.
