Already graduated and missing student life? Studying but looking to make connections with CEMSies in the working life?
No worries, we got you covered!
CEMS Club Helsinki works in close cooperation with CEMS LC Finland (Local chapter of CEMS Alumni Association) to drive networking and knowledge sharing between CEMS students and alumni. Read more about how we collaborate and what current alumni’s thoughts are about the program itself below.
Fostering student - alumni collaboration
Alina Baykova, President of CEMS LC Finland
Since CEMS MIM program was launched in Helsinki School of Economics in 2003, Helsinki is currently a home for more than 350 alumni working in various fields. CEMS Club Helsinki board actively collaborates with the board of the Local Chapter of CEMS Alumni Association (CEMS LC Finland) in organizing events to ensure networking across generations of CEMSies. The key objective of CEMS LC board is to promote a CEMS Alumni experience as a life-long learning that could be equally remarkable as the one CEMSies had as students. Strong local alumni network is fundamental to building a strong and recognizable CEMS brand in Finland. Thanks to the great experiences CEMS Club Helsinki board creates for the local CEMS students, once becoming alumni, they are happy and eager to give back to CEMS community through hosting knowledge sharing sessions and generally contributing to the overall experience of the next generations of CEMS students.
Heard from our current alumni:
Linda Tenho
“In CEMS you get an opportunity to learn how to build both economically and environmentally sustainable businesses in a multicultural world.”
Tiina Alahuhta-Kasko
“I was inspired by the strong relations to the corporate world. Getting to know companies helped me figure out what I wanted to do in my career.”
Karoliina Torttila
"Through CEMS I have gained a broader perspective on strategic issues, rather than just a deep-dive in only one field."
Niko Uusitalo
"CEMS has enabled me to work effectively in an international multicultural environment and to make decisions and take responsibility for them in an uncertain world, and most of all, learn more about and gain respect for social diversity."
Have at look at our joint activities:
We cherish the collaboration between CCH and CEMS LC Finland at Aalto and organize various events and activities on both sides. Some of our most memorable times together have been at company visits learning something new about various topics, at alumni panel discussions sharing knowledge, and at Alumni sitsit and Crayfish parties mingling and having fun together.
The CEMS experience doesn’t end when you graduate but becomes a lifetime journey filled with new connections and memories.
