Call for ESTalent among alumni:
“We all have a commitment to talent”
The founding students of the ESTalent association call on the alumni and the entire ESADE community to collaborate with the Scholarship Programme. ESADE students know that scholarships are an essential tool in attracting the best talent to the classroom and it is the only way ESADE can continue to compete with the best universities.
Why ESTalent? The idea of creating an association of students for the Scholarship Programme emerged in 2014 from different experiences and visions. Sergi Capdevila (BBA 13) and Ignasi Ferrer (BBA 13), as well as Anxiang Yin, who was then a first-year student, and like the students of BBA’14, all saw the need for a meeting place for ESADE students who wanted to work for the Scholarship Programme. As pointed out by Carlos Manubens (BBA 14), promoter of the scholarship in his class and one of the founders of ESTalent: “ESTalent is the tool needed to make ESADE an institution characterised by its socio-economic diversity and where means are not an impediment in accessing a top education in the world of business and law”.
ESTalent is An association of students that breaks with the idea of collaborating solely to improve your personal CV. It promotes a change in thinking on what a students association is, shifting the focus from the individual to the common good. In practice, this means working on different initiatives to give visibility to the Scholarship Programme on campus and to increase funding for scholarships. The fundamental rule of ESTalent is that all students are welcome, whether they have a scholarship or not. Volunteers set an example for Alumni The president of ESTalent, Anxiang Yin, explains: “Students with scholarships have an obligation to the Scholarship Programme; we must support ESADE in its efforts to raise funds for scholarships”.
An example of this commitment is Alberto Lapuente, vice-president of ESTalent and a student without a scholarship: “At ESTalent we believe that if we show our strong support for The ESADE Challenge for Talent campaign and we get involved with its initiatives, we can push other students, teachers and alumni to join the campaign”. Alex Llobet, treasurer of ESTalent: “For me, being part of ESTalent is a question of responsibility, and also knowing that I'm studying at a university where I was accepted because of my talent makes me proud”. For Eva Cebrian, communication manager for ESTalent, joining the association means that “if we organise ourselves and can achieve important things for the Scholarship Programme, alumni have no excuse; they are critical in The ESADE Challenge for Talent's continued growth”.
