Donors dinner at the Senate

The donors of the Foundation met for a dinner at the Senate, on Wednesday September 7th, 2016. Nearly 130 donors of the Foundation were there, including Jean-Pierre Raffarin (72) long term support of the ESCP Foundation.

During the event, Frank Bournois, Dean of ESCP, detailed the future evolutions of ESCP : the empowerment from the Chamber of Commerce, the development of the Bachelor on a new campus in Paris and the future 200th anniversary.

The need for a larger involvement of the junior Alumni in favour of ESCP’s development has been underlined through a testimonial of Marion Nakhlé Cerruti (12), Junior Major Donor of the Foundation.

Patrick Gounelle (72), President of the ESCP Foundation, claimed his support towards the School to fully cope with its challenges and opportunities. It is an essential investment for ESCP’s future in a environment of decreasing public subsidies and increasing competition between business schools all around the world.

The Foundation support to this process is only possible thanks to the generosity of the Alumni and corporate partners. This convivial moment reminded the importance of the cohesion among the Alumni community for the future of the School.
