In JANUARY, the Best of Student Life

Campus life and student activities are especially lively at NEOMA. Below we take a look back at three standout moments that shaped January 2026. 

Prépa’Rémois society recognised for its PHARES programme

On January 22, the consulting and auditing firm EY honoured the Prépa’Rémois association’s PHARES initiative with its “Best Community Project” award in the Inclusion category. The students travelled to the company’s Paris–La Défense headquarters to accept their prize, posting on LinkedIn: “What a proud and happy moment this is for our association! The award is not only the result of four months of tireless work by our great project managers, Camille Speranza, Timoé Bosq and Wilson Cabral; it also reflects the unwavering commitment of our Outreach and Communication teams as well as the backing of the entire association.” The €5,000 prize will enable the association to cover the full cost of the trip for the young PHARES group to Metz. “It’s a hands-on way of promoting cultural openness and equal opportunity!”. 
 

Students on the Cultural & Creative Industries MSc tour the studios of the M6 group

In January, students on the Cultural & Creative Industries MSc spent an unforgettable morning exploring the inner workings of the M6 television group. Audrey Josse, Head of School Relations, Employer Branding and Internal Communication, opened the visit with an overview of the company. Antoine Mathou, Head of Advertising and a NEOMA graduate, also met with the students to outline the key challenges facing his team and explain its day‑to‑day operations. Pauline Sirieix, Head of Group Marketing Brands, was next, delivering a presentation on the missions of the M6 Unlimited division. The highlight of the day was a tour of the TV sets and recording studios. 
The M6 Group also attended the Rouen Recruitment Forum on February 4. 
 

Students, mentors and sponsors attend the Recruitment Forums

NEOMA held its Recruitment Forums on the Reims campus in late January, and on the Rouen campus in early February. Close to 100 companies took part across both events, showcasing their internship, job and career opportunities.

The forums gave students the opportunity to talk directly with recruiters, find out about different sectors and fine-tune their career plans. Mentors and sponsors were present alongside the companies to help facilitate discussions and ensure that the events ran smoothly.

For Margaux Bancarel, a final-year student on the Digital & Data Marketing – Master in Management, the forum represented a turning point: “With the end of my master’s drawing near, the Recruitment Forum was an important step as I transition into the world of work.” Margaux explained that the event helped confirm her interest in “dynamic environments at the crossroads of marketing, strategy and market analysis.” In her role as a mentor for Technip Energies, working alongside its representatives, she spent the day supporting the company. 

Laura Burdin, a Master in Management student, also took part in the event as a mentor. “I had the chance to see what goes on behind the scenes,” she explains. Laura shadowed two alumni, representatives of Nexialog Consulting, and particularly enjoyed “learning about their experiences and their memories as NEOMA students”. Laura also expressed her gratitude to the experts she met for “sharing their career journeys and offering such valuable advice,” and to the organising teams for “this wonderful mentoring opportunity.” She concluded by saying: “I’m already looking forward to committing myself to this type of initiative again!”
