École Supérieure de Commerce de Toulouse | France

With AACSB accreditation, École Supérieure de Commerce de Toulouse achieved the grand slam and joined the ranks of the best international business schools, those who have been awarded all three certificates of excellence. In June 2004, only 21 business schools in the world, including 5 French Grandes Ecoles, enjoy this triple distinction of EQUIS, AMBA, and AACSB accreditation. Three years ago, the École Supérieure de Commerce de Toulouse analyzed its capacity to mobilize the alumni's network and also our network of partners to help in the development of the School. With the help of a consulting agency specialized in fundraising, École Supérieure de Commerce de Toulouse then started a long process: constitution of an in-house team, identification of alumni ready to commit themselves to the project, establishment of a steering committee in charge of the Development Campaign, foundation of a "circle of Ambassadors", creation of a presentation for support that synthesizes our ambitions and our projects, and the setting up of an association in charge of collecting gifts which will be later donated to the Foundation, etc.
