The ESSEC Group Alumni Association (Association des Diplômés du Groupe ESSEC)

The ADGE replaced in June 2003 the former ESSEC Alumni Association, founded in 1923. Its benefit for general interest has been approved by the Home Affairs, Internal Security and Local Liberties’ as of July 4th, 2003.
It unites now the ESSEC Group Alumnis under a single identity, forming a network of 37,000 graduates. Bringing together 12 associations within a sole association enriches our community not only through shared values but also through diversity and complementary educational programs and careers.

Its missions

They are ambitious :

• to develop the systematic practice of networking and communication between all ESSEC members, and to favour exchanges with other key players of the economic, social or cultural fields,
• to make the ESSEC brand more influent and to act permanently in the name of the ESSEC values and know-how in order to smooth the hiring of the graduates,
• to increase our contribution to the development of the ESSEC Group and to play our statuary role by participating actively to the decisions that will make the School of tomorrow
• to meet the needs and expectations of the ESSEC Community in Paris, in France or worldwide, through quality services.  

In order to succeed, the Association relies on the dues of the graduates who contribute to providing the necessary means for its development for the benefit of all Alumni. Their permanent and dynamic involvement show their membership to the ESSEC Alumni network, a recognized reference.
