Dear Readers,
You are about to read the last Ponts Alumni newsletter of the year.
2024 has been a year rich in events, encounters and sharing, and we're proud of what we've achieved together. True to our raison d'être “Cultivating links and mobilizing the international Ponts community to build the worlds of tomorrow”, we have : accompanied (students, alumni, the School), actively participated (in the School's work), organized (Careers workshops), celebrated (successes), relayed
(initiatives, news or surveys), encouraged (meetings), hosted (reunions), incubated (start-ups), gave the floor (to speakers, experts... ), raised awareness (of the importance of transition) ... To all you alumni who support us and encourage our actions, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks for your commitment and your invaluable contribution to the life of our community.
As you can imagine, we already have big plans for 2025, including an exceptional Ponts evening on April 29, in a no less exceptional location in the heart of Paris, and hope that many of you will join us for this promising new year.
The newsletter you're holding in your hands is an invitation to dive into the world of our association and prepare for an even more dynamic and rewarding 2025.
We urge you to become a member from January 1, 2025, so that you don't miss out on any of the events and initiatives we have planned. Your membership is a pillar of our association, and every contribution counts as we build together a year full of projects, exchanges and highlights.
Until 2025, enjoy the festive season with family and friends. Have a wonderful holiday season, and we look forward to seeing you on January 2, 2025 to continue our journey!
Happy holidays to you all,
Camille Laborie
General Delegate of Ponts Alumni
