Next Sciences Po Wednesday – 6 May – London

May 3, 2009

The Next SciencesPo Wednesday will be held next Wednesday 6 May at 7 Pm, at the Walkers of Whitehall, 15 Craig’s Court (at the corner of Whitehall), SW1A (very near Trafalgar Sq).

This monthly gathering – held on the 1^st Wednesday of each month at 7pm – is devised simply to give the opportunity to Sciences Po alumni/friends and UK-based students to meet up and catch up. SciencesPo Wednesday is a nice inter-generational exchange forum. It is a valuable way for students to obtain key advice from alumni. Therefore, thanks to Stéphanie Morisset notably, we give such alumni-student exchanges more structure via 15 min 1-on-1s or 1-on-2s during the evening. Do let us know if you will be coming and wish to give some of your time to that effect.
