SPECIAL PROGRAMS FOR EDUCATION |
We are offering a complimentary "guest membership" to the students and teachers of the following schools and universities. It is a valuable asset to reinforce the ties between the local education and business communities that share the same interest and passion for international exchange and trade.
Alliant University - Marshall Goldsmith School of Management
The students of the international club and the school of management of the Alliant University can now benefit from our guest membership program.
"Marshall Goldsmith School of Management enjoys a history that spans more than 80 years, and many of our graduates have gone on to become leaders in industry, government, and management. We have created a world-class international campus that promotes diversity and inclusion, where students gain real-world experience by working and studying with some of the leading minds around the world." For more information about the School of Management, click here.
To register, please contact Marcela Lopez Enriquez at menriquez@alliant.edu.
University of San Diego - French Club
The French club provides opportunities for USD students interested in French language and culture.
"Le Club francais est ouvert aux etudiants de USD qui s'interessent a la langue et a la culture francaise. Il n'est pas necessaire de savoir parler francais pour participer aux activites du club qui sont ouvertes aux membres et a leurs amis. L'inscription au club est gratuite, mais certaines activites peuvent demander une modeste participation aux frais (cinema, musee, restaurant...)"
