On the agenda
Your CEMS journey is about to begin, and we are excited to welcome you, CEMSies Class of 2026/27 🌍
Join us on June 22 at 13:00 CEST for the CEMS Global Welcome and Virtual Induction: Meet Your Classmates.
This is your first global moment as a CEMSie. In one hour, you'll connect with the wider CEMS community, meet classmates from around the world, and get a feel for what being part of this network is really like.
What to expect?
We'll start with a short global welcome, where you'll hear from:
- Christine Côté, Chair of the CEMS Academic Committee - Opening Remarks
- Otso Lammi, CEMS Student Board President - Student Board & Global Initiatives
- Valentino Mollard, CEMS Club Rotterdam President - Local & Regional Events
- Alicja Kocanda, APAC Ambassador - CEMS Alumni Network
- Philipp Von Weinrich, Senior Consultant, McKinsey & Company, Ana Diaz, CEMS Global Office, Hyeon-Ji Yun, CEMS Student (HSG/NUS) - Corporate Relations, Career Services & Career Forum
Meet your CEMS community
After the intro, you will be able to drop into any of the breakout rooms, meet people, ask questions, and explore freely. Whether you want to connect with your home school, or your host school(s), or discover new places in the network - it's up to you. Move around as much as you like.
🌍 Home School breakout room - meet your programme managers + fellow CEMSies
✈️ Host School breakout room - connect with your future exchange peers and local office
🎓 'Meet your future self' room - ask alumni anything about CEMS, careers, life choices, perks, etc.
🗣️ Student Board room – meet your student reps and find out about events, opportunities, and all that’s happening globally + locally
Want to help shape the breakout room session?
If you have specific questions or topics you would like your school(s) to address in the breakout rooms, feel free to email [email protected] ahead of time.
By the end, you’ll hopefully leave with familiar faces, useful contacts, and a much clearer picture of your CEMS journey ahead.
Can't wait to meet you, CEMSies!
