At the core of the ESSEC learning experience is a combination of excellence and distinctiveness.ESSEC’s unique educational model is based on education by experiences, that foster the acquisition of cutting-edge knowledge with the development of know-how and life skills. At ESSEC, we aim to empower students and give them the keys to imagine, create, lead and have a positive impact in the business world of tomorrow that will be more complex and changing ever more rapidly.

ESSEC is a world-school. Our International campuses in Asia-Pacifi c and Africa are dual gateways that allow students to really immerse themselves into di� erent cultures worldwide and develop genuine expertise about business in those regions. They allow our school to build deeper alliances with academic, private and public partners in those regions that are growing at an accelerated pace and will be leaders of economic growth in tomorrow’s world. ESSEC has built a network of alliances with academic partners worldwide so that its students’ learning journey is a true international one.

ESSEC is a school with French Roots that trains responsible leaders.Being a responsible leader means being able to see beyond business as usual. Responsible leaders are able to value long-term benefi ts over short-term profi ts; they are able to blend corporate performance with employees’ well-being. To prepare its students for the world of tomorrow, ESSEC’s pedagogy seeks to awaken and develop creative and critical thinking, together with the learning-by-doing method. Responsible leaders are those who can see the broader picture.

ESSEC is a full ecosystem at the crossroad of rigorous and relevant research, innovation, business and society. At ESSEC we believe in bringing research and companies into the classroom, we also believe that learning doesn’t end with a degree: learning at ESSEC means becoming a life-long learner and joining a close-knit community of more than 62,000 Alumni all across the globe.

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the ESSEC Business School Student Associations Brochure!

Over the years, the successive batches of ESSEC Business School students have founded and run more than 100 clubs and associations with a wide variety of themes: sporting, cultural, humanitarian, international… : there is something for everyone!

The associative teams organize conferences, festive activities, trips, tournaments, concerts, plays, civic actions and many other events to discover during the academic year.

Getting involved in one or more student associations at ESSEC is a vehicle for personal and professional growth. Associative life promotes the development of a sense of responsibility and entrepreneurship, promoted by our school. It’s also the best way to meet your classmates, share ideas, hobbies, have fun: in short, make the ESSEC Business School community live and unite!

With this brochure, a glance is enough to identify the associations and clubs that will have your preference: a ranking by themes then by representation on the campuses of Cergy, Singapore and Rabat is proposed to you. Associative life is gradually being built up within our young ESSEC Africa campus in Rabat (Morocco): regularly updated, other associations and clubs will soon be added to this brochure!

Happy reading and see you soon on our campuses!
