November 2011 Fall is a time of high activity on campuses around the world, and the rule applies to us here at EPITA ! As students are fully concentrated into their courses and electing their new student government, they got to relax a bit attending and choosing the clubs & associations they will be contributing to this academic year at the Associations Forum. We were also pleased to host the first Open Doors and the yearly FEMII (Company Recruiting Event). In France, November is also a time reflection when families gather to celebrate their ancestors. Wishing you an enjoyable reading and looking forward to checking back in December with a special Recruiting Edition. Yours sincerely, Christophe Rouvrais Director Development & International Office Albane Ariza, International Programs Manager Célia Fernandez, Exchange Programs Coordinator Anne Menard, Executive Assistant Daniela Becker, ERASMUS Coordinator Happening on Campus Student Government Elections The last two weeks of October always bring much excitement to campus as the BDE (Bureau des Etudiants = Student Government) yearly elections are unfolding International Students as well as local students are strongly encouraged to visit running teams booths, find out about the program they have for EPITA's academic year 2011-2012 and give their vote.
