The Glee Club craze reaches HEC #51
At the start of the new school year in 2010, inspired by the hit
American TV series “Glee”, two second-year students at HEC Paris
gathered together a group of about twenty students to form one of the
first “Glee” clubs in France. As part of the student society “Music
Addict,” this club puts choirs and musical theatre back on the table,
performing both songs from the series and some of its own
interpretations, with an ill-concealed soft spot for music from the 70s -
80s. A world away from lessons in finance, both experienced singers and
beginners alike, come to learn to sing and to share a special musical
experience. Since its creation, the Glee Club has performed 3 concerts
on the HEC campus. Their next performances should take place on the
School’s Open Day on 24th March and at a concert organized by “Music
Addict”, on 10th April.

HEC Paris celebrates its 130 years in 130 days
To celebrate its 130 years, starting from 12 December HEC Paris is launching a dedicated website that will publish 130 posts tracing back through the greatest moments of its history; a history marked by a taste for audacity.
“130 years of inspiration,” such is the guiding thread that we suggest you follow. With great pedagogical innovations, portraits of alumni who went on to follow rather unique paths, campus life, faculty and other unusual anecdotes, day after day you can take a look at the development not simply of an institution, but also of a state of mind that allowed generations of students to learn to dare, just as the school’s slogan today reminds us: the more you know, the more you dare. This approach is taken not only in homage of all the people who contributed to the construction of both HEC’s history and its success, but also to invite the public to see what lies behind the walls of our institution.
Each day, a photo or video accompanied by a brief commentary will be published on the website www.hec.fr/130ans as well as on iPhone application. Following the same idea, sharing on social networks in and around the “HEC community” will lie at the heart of this project.
Each morning, you can turn on your computers and smart phones to see a snapshot of life at HEC!
