The I\u00c9SEG Foundation continues to build momentum with the appointment of two new board membe<\/em><\/strong>rs, Anne-Laure THOMAS and Vincent DUBOIS<\/em>,<\/strong><\/em> reinforcing its long-standing commitment to equal opportunity and social inclusion. This collective dynamic was recently highlighted at the Foundation\u2019s 2026 New Year\u2019s Reception, a flagship gathering for the I\u00c9SEG community, which brought together more than 100 guests on the Paris\u2013La D\u00e9fense campus<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of its ongoing development, the Foundation has welcomed two new members to its Management Committee: Anne-Laure THOMAS, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Director at L\u2019Or\u00e9al, and Vincent DUBOIS, President of DLPK and an I\u00c9SEG alumnus (1997). While their professional paths differ, they share a common belief: talent should have access to an education of excellence, regardless of social or economic background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A shared commitment to oppportunity and inclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For Anne-Laure THOMAS, joining the I\u00c9SEG Foundation<\/a> is a natural extension of her professional engagement. Convinced that talent is everywhere, she emphasizes the importance of acting at the higher education level to remove financial barriers and promote truly diverse student communities<\/strong>. In her view, inclusion is not only a social responsibility, but also a powerful driver of innovation, fairness, and long-term performance within organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deeply connected to I\u00c9SEG as an alumnus, Vincent DUBOIS sees his own involvement with the Foundation as a way to give back and strengthen the bond he has maintained with the School throughout his career. Committed to equal opportunity and academic excellence, he is eager to support the Foundation\u2019s growth<\/strong>, particularly by contributing to the development of its initiatives and fundraising efforts. For him, joining the Management Committee represents a natural continuation of the lasting impact I\u00c9SEG has had on his professional journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, they further reinforce a governance structure that remains true to I\u00c9SEG\u2019s core values while actively preparing for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expanding access to higher education<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The I\u00c9SEG Foundation plays a central role in supporting students from all backgrounds by helping them access and succeed in higher education. Through its Equal Opportunity, Excellence, and Entrepreneurship scholarships, the Foundation addresses student financial hardship<\/strong> while enabling talented and deserving students to pursue their ambitions. Beyond financial support, the Foundation also highlights the individual journeys and successes made possible through its actions, helping to raise awareness and mobilize long-term engagement around the cause of equal opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This shared commitment was clearly reflected at the Foundation\u2019s New Year\u2019s reception, held on January 13, 2026. Marked by generosity and bold initiative, the event included the awarding of scholarships by corporate partner Cofidis Group, supporting 55 students on the Lille campus during the 2025\u20132026 academic year<\/strong>. Fundraising initiatives led by the Student Federation further demonstrated the strong involvement of the entire I\u00c9SEG community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student testimonials offered powerful reminders of the tangible impact of the Foundation\u2019s support. Flore, a Master\u2019s student in Finance<\/a>, shared how the Foundation enabled her to resume her studies, while Baptiste and Noah, also Master\u2019s students, highlighted how this financial support allows many students to fully pursue their academic and professional ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supported by a committed network of students, alumni, corporate partners, and donors, the I\u00c9SEG Foundation continues to work toward a more open, inclusive School\u2014true to its mission of educating future changemakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n
