With 10 different degree programmes represented and over 350 guests, focus was placed on the School's achievements over the preceding 12 months and the success of its diverse student community.
A highlight of the evening was the award for London Student Society of the Year based on a student vote linked to four core values: Student Life, Community Building, Creativity and ESCP Spirit. The award was shared by the Eventures Association-Regatta and UNITED, the London arm of the diplomatic society that organises the School's participation in the Model UN conference in New York. Both teams won a case of fine wine, generously donated by Tannin & Oak in West Hampstead.
In presenting the evening's awards, Prof. Mercado, Dean of the London Campus, also highlighted two other Societies for their activism and initiative throughout the year: Cheer Up, the society campaigning for patients with cancer; and the Women in Finance Society, who we celebrated on our Facebook page to coincide with International Women's Day on 8th March.
Guests unanimously agreed that the Gala was a huge success, with many already looking forward to next year's event.
"I flew from Paris to live the Gala experience organised by the London campus. I was very impressed by the location and I enjoyed very much the reception. During dinner I caught up with the friends I met in my first year of the Master in Management who are now studying in London, and this was definitely the best part. A memorable location with the best company!" – Alba, Master in Management student
"This event was absolutely amazing. I participated for the first time and I found it astonishing. I truly felt that I was taking part in something special, surrounded by incredible, smart people and with a magic atmosphere. It was a pleasure to have the chance to network with students from other masters and to strengthen friendships. The Gala represents for me a sense of belonging to the ESCP community. I will definitely participate again." – Davide, MSc in Marketing & Creativity student
"Our journey at ESCP has only just begun, but the London Campus Gala marked a milestone on our journey. It is easy to say that dressing up in an impressive location alongside your best friends regardless of the occasion is always a pleasure; however, what made this evening special was the atmosphere created by the range of guests, from students to academic staff" – Pascal, Bachelor in Management (BSc) student
Thank you to everyone who joined us at this very special event and dressed to impress!
