UB’s Faculty of Economics and Business to unveil new Alumni Wall on Monday

Elisenda Paluzie, Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business at the University of Barcelona, will unveil on Monday November 14th, 2016, at 17:30, the first plaques of the new Alumni Wall, a fundraising project which will bring alumni and new generations of students closer together. The names of all former students that make a donation to the Faculty will be engraved in metal plaques, which will be placed in one of the main entrance lobbies of the Faculty. During this first phase of the Alumni Wall campaign, up to €6,375 have been collected in order to fund a project by Athina Raftopoulou, a PhD student in Economics at the Faculty. Many Anglo-Saxon universities have already put in place similar initiatives in order to foster the existing link between the university and the alumni community and involve them in the current challenges of their alma mater. On Monday, Elisenda Paluzie will also present the Faculty’s online donation platform, key to helping the Alumni Wall project grow from now on. Donations might be allocated entirely to a programme chosen by the donor: internationalisation and attracting talent, project financing for young researchers and upgrading of infrastructure and facilities.
