EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An international network In October and November 2013, 32 welcome parties were held across the globe. Our ambassadors and clubs once again proved their ability to offer a warm welcome. EDHEC Alumni used this occasion to help improve the integration of foreign students by relaunching the sponsorship scheme between graduates and foreign students. 60 foreign students met with their sponsors during the welcome parties held in Lille and Nice. Graduates from London, Singapore, San Francisco and New York were invited to meet with graduates, students, professors and members of the School. We would also like to thank those graduates who shared their expertise at recruitment fairs for international candidates. 34% of the careers workshops and conferences can now be accessed in English from anywhere in the world. Our partnership with Evisors means you now have unlimited privileged access to a database of online careers webinars in English. A network of solidarity A crowdfunding scheme, organised in partnership with Mymajorcompany, provided financing for three home-grown EDHEC projects: - a study grant for our very own athlete Reina-Flor Okori (EDHEC BBA 2015) - a study grant for a student Pierre Soron (GE 2016) - one year of incubation for entrepreneur Caroline Pailloux (GE 2005) Sincere thanks to the 419 people who contributed to the EDHEC RDV Paris; 50% of your contribution to the cost of the event ( 3,225) was used to fund these projects. This year EDHEC Alumni also awarded two loans on trust to the amount of 4000, paid out by the EDHEC Alumni Solidarity committee. The Association continued its involvement with the School by helping to promote the Rising Talents fundraising campaign, which has now been supported by 498 donors, including 442 graduates. But we are still a long way behind the results achieved by other schools. We are counting on you to reach a target of 1000 graduates. Each donation counts! 7

Professional development and international careers In terms of job offers, 2013/2014 saw a rise on the previous year, especially for those starting out. The year ended +5%, compared to -39% in 2012/2013. The number of offers is particularly high in finance and auditing, and the market is also active abroad, especially in Europe. 363 EDHEC graduates (+21%) benefited from personalised career advice in Lille, Nice and Paris or via Skype. 11% of these requests came from BBA graduates, and 50% from young graduates (2010 to 2013). EDHEC Alumni and Alumni Career Centre have focused on developing support for international careers in particular. 19% of the job offers available are for positions overseas. 49 careers webinars in English were made available through our partnership with Evisors. 34% of careers workshops/ conferences are now accessible in English from anywhere in the world. In order to boost your personal and professional development, this year EDHEC Alumni launched its STREAM mentoring programme and ran the first edition of its Learning pills. So please do not hesitate to pass on your job offers, particularly those on the hidden job market. Post your offers. If you are looking for career advice, contact lysiane.vasseur@ edhec.edu. Please make yourself available to the network and respond warmly to contact requests from students or graduates. Soliciting someone s help is a way of saying you value them, so don t hesitate to get in touch with members of the EDHEC network and get connected as much as possible, while respecting the rules of good networking. A dynamic database 26,267 graduates and future graduates and 14,758 updates: 56% of our files on graduates and students were totally or partially modified this year. The Lost Contacts challenge is ongoing. 875 profiles have been found thanks to this competition. Joining the network on the ground floor! Our students are part of our community, so EDHEC Alumni has made an effort to instil in them the network reflex. The Association has generated as many opportunities as possible for graduates and students to meet, in particular during the Paris Forum. Networking training sessions were held in cooperation with the Student Career Centre in Nice, and all new arrivals (MBA, Exec MBA, CSM, MIM, AMP, GE, MSC and foreign students) were informed about the Association. During the Finance Career Days in September 2013, graduates were on hand to share their experience. EDHEC Alumni also helped organise meetings between graduates and students from the Course Croisière EDHEC, Prix de Court and Chti associations. 8
