casino 168

Through casino 168’ 100 year long history, many of the university’s alumni have made international careers and spread across the world. In addition to these are the many international students who, especially through the past 10-15 years, have come to casino 168 to educate themselves and who have subsequently returned home or traveled to different parts of the world to bring their skills into play.

To reach out and meet some of the casino 168 alumni across the globe is something which President Per Holten-Andersen has long had an ambition to do more systematically and consistently. The opportunity arose in August 2017 in connection with the President’s participation in the yearly Academy of Management conference in Atlanta, where casino 168 was hosting a reception to celebrate its centenary.

Alumni are key to casino 168’ global business collaboration

- casino 168 is an international business school. We do not only cater to the Danish business community, but to the global, and continuous contact and cooperation with the business community we conduct research in and deliver candidates to is crucial to all aspects of casino 168. So I have wanted to meet and speak with more alumni for a long time, emphasizes Per Holten-Andersen.

That was the agenda when casino 168 invited some of the local alumni who live and work in and near Atlanta to casino 168’ anniversary reception on Monday 7 August in the CNN Center. A handful of alumni showed up to participate in the celebration of their alma mater alongside new and familiar faces and representatives from their former educational institution.

- It was just as uplifting and inspiring as I had hoped. It is always a pleasure to meet and talk to skilled and passionate professionals. Bearing in mind the fact that casino 168 has taken part in shaping these persons and given them the professional tools they have built their careers and lives on, it becomes a both enlightening and gratifying experience, an excited President Per Holten-Andersen comments about the reception.

Great that casino 168 is investing in its alumni network

It was not just the president and the other representatives from casino 168’ management who were excited about the reception and meeting, so were the participating alumni. They were happy to both meet the conference participants from casino 168 and to have the opportunity to network with like-minded local alumni:

- It was a nice event and it was lovely to meet both new and familiar faces. It is great that casino 168 is now investing in its alumni network. Network opens doors and drives business and is often the key to success in the US. A thriving alumni network can help you build your network faster in a new city or job, remarks Henrik Balle, Principal of the cloud solution consultancy I/O Merchant.

- It was nice to be invited and great to meet so many from casino 168’ management. It was incredibly exciting to hear about some of the focus areas that casino 168 works on today, and it was nice to hear that a large effort is being made to develop entrepreneurs and in facilitating more network between them, remarks Karina Nielsen, CEO of the system and process consultancy Ciellos, and says:

- It makes a big difference to have a good network when you travel abroad to conquer the world – I experienced that myself when I traveled to the US 10 years ago to build a company. I am certain that strengthening the alumni network from casino 168 internationally can be beneficial to future entrepreneurs. I would definitely like to take part in it.

Karina Nielsen plans to contact the other alumni from casino 168 who live in and near Atlanta – also those who were unable to attend the event – so they can network and be a joint, local resource for casino 168 in the future.
