About IM Alumni
IM Alumni was largely the initiative of two BSc IM students, Florian Estoppey and Firat Aslan, back in 2011. The association was officially founded later that year on the principal that the International Management programme is special and international enough to warrant an organisation separate from the larger FHNW alumni organisations and is open to International Management students, faculty and alumni (Master and Bachelor programmes).
The association fosters
– Networking
– Supporting fellow students and alumni professionally
– Giving back and paying forward: the association supports charities and initiatives in the field of international education
The IM Alumni is a NPO and charges no membership fees. It relies on funds raised at the annual event and from donations to cover event costs, raise enough money for the annual IM Alumni Graduation Prize and raise funds for selected charities.
The IM Alumni Graduation Prize is awarded to a graduating BSc IM programme who is nominated by the peer community as having contributed most to the IM community (general helpfulness, organizing events, on the Tutoring Team or student council, doing all the photocopying, class rep,….). It carries a respectable cash prize.
The IM Alumni also relies on volunteers. We welcome volunteers in general (help at events, help with communication and networking) and in particular volunteers to sit on the board (help organizing events, communication, finance/admin). Please contact us via our Linked In page (sub group of FHNW alumni) or our Facebook page or via info@imalumni.com.
Thanks for joining us tonight!!!!!!! Hope you enjoyed it. Stay in touch.
