34 35Dear Double Degree student,
The programme you have decided to follow within the IPBS (International Part-
nership of Business Schools) network at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore is
unique.
The Double Degree Programme is characterized both by great career oppor-
tunities and a network of international students coming from all over the glo-
be: from ESB of Reutlingen (Germany), Puebla (Mexico), Reims (France), Boston
and Raleigh (USA), Breda (The Netherlands), and Lancaster (UK).
We are called SMINT (International Management Students) and we are the
official students union of the campus. We organize social events for Cattolica
students, including the Integration weekend, running dinners, happy hours
and parties to make your student life more enjoyable! We are waiting for
you in Piacenza to welcome you in this sparkling town in order to enrich
our group with your presence, your ideas and your creativity. We can be of
assistance to you in many ways, with personal and works issues, or with your
social or linguistic interests.
We wish you a wonderful academic year at Cattolica, full of success and new
experiences.
For more information, you can contact us by writing to one of the e-mail
addresses below. We will welcome you personally at the Orientation Events in
