Students in the Masters in Management class on Business in Society were asked, as a group project, to « Do something for the community ».  17 groups found ways to help. Some groups went to schools, hospitals, retirement homes and through personal involvement  improved the lives of others (« make my day »). Other groups engaged with NGOs (Caritas), businesses and professionals to improve the lives of others (clothes collect and computers for Caritas, SMEs, massage at UNIGE). Other groups helped to raise awareness (environment) and raise funds to support deaf and blind children (in Cambodia, Russia); schools in Haiti, Nairobi, Senegal, and associations such as WWSF White Ribbon campaign aimed at domestic violence.  In a short time, the students were able to raise over 12,000 CHF and 3,000 Euros to support these various causes. Through these activities they learned project management, marketing, communication, logistics, …. But more importantly, that with little time and effort (big and small) they could make a contribution. And that doing good, feels good.

HEC-Geneva and the Institute Services Science (ISS) are inviting the President of National Information Society Agency (NIA), South Korea, Dr. Seang-Tae Kim for a conference on Tuesday 25th October:
