IE Alumni coordinate and support extracurricular activities which take place at IE and which contribute so greatly to the IE experience. These events and clubs present you with a great opportunity to network outside of class and meet people that you may not otherwise meet within the classroom. Some of these clubs and activities are the following:

• Academic Clubs (Including the Entrepreneurs’ Club, Finance Club, Women in Business, IE Net Impact, and ieOut and the Innovation and Technology Clubetc.)
• Sports Clubs (Including the IE Football League, the Basketball Club, Tennis Club, and the Sailing Club etc.)
• National/Regional Clubs (Including Venezuelan Club, Japanese Club, Africa Club, etc.)
• Social and Leisure Activities (Including IE Partners’ Club, Gourmet Club and Bar of the Week etc.)

At IE Business School we give our students the opportunity to participate in extra-curricular activities. Once your place reservation has been received, you will be granted access to the Student Office and all the different clubs that we have.

There are more than 60 clubs at IE including academic, regional, sports, and affinity clubs. A few of the most popular are: Finance, Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Football, Basketball, Skiing, Gourmet, Wine Tasting, Salsa, Japan, Mexico, Italian and Net Impact Club.

Students get together and organize fun activities within their clubs and use the opportunity to meet new people, network and enrich their CVs with leadership and other extra-curricular achievements.

If you are interested in a very specific club that is not listed, you can make a proposal and create your own club and invite other students to join. This would be an invaluable opportunity to demonstrate your leadership and determination.

The earthquake with a magnitude of 8.9 on the Richter scale and the massive tsunami which struck Japan on March 11^th 2011 had a devastating effect on the country and sadly, even today we are still hearing of increasing numbers of victims.  The current situation is bleak – over half a million people are homeless and running low on food and supplies, 18,000 are expected to be dead or missing, and the country’s financial loss is speculated to be US$309 billion.

IE Business School has carried out various initiatives to raise funds to help those in need in Japan…

IE Japan Club (run by current Japanese International MBA students) is organizing a number of activities. For example, donation boxes have been placed in IE buildings and are receiving warm support from students. All funds raised will be sent to Japan Red Cross in Tokyo.

IE Lebanon Club with the support of IE Spain Club, organized a Donation Campaign last Tuesday in partnership with a local restaurant to help raise funds. The restaurant gave a portion of revenues gained on this day to IE to donate to  Japan.

IE Alumni Association is taking advantage of IE’s extensive network to raise funds for Japan, spreading the message to over 40,000 people in more than 100 countries.
