Graduation rounded off a fantastic semester for HIM students and staff.
The semester was one of our most successful. We had a very active Student Ambassador Forum who brought added value to our daily lives in HIM. Each week we were treated to a video piece that inspired professionalism within the school. Follow this link to experience the enthusiasm - http://www.youtube.com/user/fanny521#p/a/u/0/z7XqSF-1s6s
Ms Wendelin our Bar & Beverage Lecturer organized a series of master classes! Students and staff had the opportunity to sample whiskey, cigars, beers from Germany, showmanship with cocktails and champagne workshops leading to 2 students going to champagne for an all expenses trip! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_DUwFEUQog&playnext_from=TL&videos=R-o1lUNXGyY
Academically the students have worked hard this semester. Year 1 students worked hard in service and have been rewarded with a variety of excellent internships, Year 2 banquets were creative, colorful and fun, Year 3 raised over CHF1200 for Yaowawit School in Thailand (http://www.childrensworldacademy.com/), BBA had excellent performances in global strategy competitions. The Best-Strategy Invitational is a global competition among high-performing GLO-BUS companies from around the world. Any student-team finishing in 1st place in the GLO-BUS simulation conducted at their college receive an invitation to participate in the Best-Strategy Invitational. The HIM BBA4 team Lacet - Fotorama came 2nd in their Industry which consisted of 11 teams from around the world!! Our MBA Program is also developing nicely with 15 students graduating in June.
