A look back at the "Rallumons la Flamme" evening on June 12, 2025
🌟 A look back at an exceptional evening in the colors of the Paris 2024 Games!🌟
On Thursday June 12, nearly 300 of us gathered to rekindle the flame at our big ESSCA Alumni evening, in the prestigious setting of the Hôtel Potocki 🔥
Alumni from 1977 to 2026, representatives of the school and its various campuses, students, parents' association, entrepreneurs - the entire ESSCA community was represented. It's the symbol of a collective that shows its strength, its complementarity, its commitment and its attachment to the values of the institution and the ESSCA brand!
This year, we chose to celebrate the Olympic Games and the contribution of our alumni to this extraordinary, unifying event, symbolizing commitment and passion. A huge thank you to all the participants who came to celebrate the collective spirit, the reunion between alumni and the Olympic and Paralympic adventure shared by our speakers.
After the traditional words of welcome from Vincent Harel, ESSCA Alumni President and Jean Charroin, ESSCA Group Managing Director, it was time for the round table discussion on the theme: "the commitment of the collective!"
💫 Thanks to our exceptional guests Clémentine Ducrocq (Director of Human Resources and Employee Experience Paris 2024) Laurène Mary (Manager Services à la the Olympic and Paralympic Family Paris 2024 -Promo 2017 ), Cyril Sabran (Logistics Director Paris 2024 - Promo 1997), Gilles de La Bourdonnaye (Triple Paralympic Champion, Triple World Champion and more than seven-time European Para Table Tennis Champion), Edouard Donnelly (Executive Director of Operations Paris 2024). And thanks to Rachel Pretti (Grand Reporter à l'Équipe) for her dynamic moderation of our round table.
Capessca, the school's parents' association, then celebrated the alumni involved in Paris 2024 in one way or another, by presenting them, through the hand of Patricia Dumoulin, its president, with a copy of the book by Romain Lachens, director of Paris 2024 involvement: "From the France that grumbles to the France that wins.
And since there's no competition without a podium, let's take a look at the top 3 most-represented graduating classes:
🥇 Class of 1990 with 14% of participants
🥈 Promo 1995 with 12% participants
🥉 Class of 1998 with 6% of participants
