The “Jury’s Special prize” was awarded to Carole Donada (Management Department). Among the 10 preferred Professors chosen by the students, the Committee decided to distinguish Carole for the quality of her teaching evaluations in a variety of programs.

The Screening Committee of the ESSEC Foundation met and assigned The “Daniel Tixier Award” of pedagogical experience to Junko Takagi (Management Department) for the ​”Programme Expérience d’une Organisation​”​ that she organized for all students of the Pre-Master year of the Grande Ecole. Junko associated to the Prize the colleagues who created and managed the program since its creation 10 years ago: Laurence de Carlo and Annick Ancelin-Bourguignon, as well as all the pedagogical staff, a key success factor.

Once again, congratulations to the Laureates, and a warm thanks to all who submitted their pedagogical experiences, research papers and white projects of such high quality! The Committee expects even more files and projects for the 6th edition.
