IE always welcome visitors to campus!. This time, we had the pleasure to meet with 20 Finnish students from Aalto University_Helsinki, who came for a 5 day visit to Madrid and spent an entire morning with us at IE. Viet-Ha and Carlos gave a quick overview of IE and the Masters programs, then it was off for the campus tour before heading to a traditional Spanish tapas break in one of the many cafes around campus. It was great to see them all finally here!. Our special thanks to Tuomas Ikonen who had the initiative from Helsinki to look for one of the most globally recognized Business Schools and organized the visit to IE , and to Kimmo Olavi Parviainen_current MBA exchange student who shared his IE experience also in Finnish!

Last week when I looked at new Financial Times ranking of ExMBA (where our ExMBA has been ranked among the best 10 programs in the world (number 7th worldwide), I was proud to see how well our Alumnus have done in 3 years after the graduation: an impressive salary increase of 144% !!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will hardly find it in any other school.

Immediately I thought about another part of post MBA life: less tangible, but not less powerful in order to move up the career ladder: our huge network of Alumnus and great possibilities that it can offer.
During our trips around Europe, we are always happy to meet our Alumnus: people who are very proactive and willing to share their first hand experience with us and with future students at our events.
We would like to thank all Alumnus whom we have met this year.
We look forward to meeting you and new Alumnus during our future trips and hear what is new in your life and in the life of Alumnus` club and bring you the latest news from IE.
Some pictures of our past meetings.
