Bonjour mes amis! A lot has happened since my arrival in France. Within the first three weeks at IAE, we took two weeks of French language intensives, repelled down a 100-foot cliff, climbed up a 50-foot rock-face and have been assigned three unique projects in our business courses. Sound challenging? That’s because it is.

One of the focal points of the MGIM program is communication skills and we want to share with you what our students are doing. “Inadequate business communication skills” is among the top three subjects that many companies express concern over - especially when it comes to technically-trained students. These skills matter because regardless of how technically oriented the business; the engine of commerce is still powered by personal communication.
