Club des Ambassadeurs

“We can do even more for students, so they can develop their skills in a much more creative environment. Our donation is our way of supporting an active approach to teaching that keeps getting better and better.”

Jean Talbot (HEC Montréal 1974) and Marie-Hélène Jobin

The Club des Ambassadeurs was created in 2011 to help HEC Montréal rise to the next level. It is made up of 35 faculty and staff members, all of whom are committed to upholding a proud tradition of excellence in research and education.

The members of the Club des Ambassadeurs have a unique insight into the issues surrounding the development of HEC Montréal. As both players and witnesses to its growth, these individuals have a front-row seat to its history and evolution. They pledge to donate $50,000 or more within a 10-year period, selecting from various tax-efficient giving strategies. Members allocate their contributions to school projects that align with their values and aspirations.

Pierre Lainey

“I only had one provision to add to my will, but it is one that is full of hope for the future of our students. I don’t have any second thoughts about this decision. I know just how much of an impact this donation will have and I’m confident it will be used and managed wisely.”

An even greater impact for our community

IMPROVE THE CAMPUS EXPERIENCE

The generosity of our donors makes it possible to make a wider range of digital tools available to students, improve our study facilities and enhance library resources.

FUND RESEARCH PROGRAMS

Donations have a ripple effect that helps spark innovation and foster the transfer of knowledge to real-world applications. They contribute directly to grooming a new generation of experts and in spreading information outside of academic circles.

AWARD SCHOLARSHIPS

Regardless of the type of scholarship, these contributions change lives by opening up new academic pathways, fostering advances in research, cultivating entrepreneurship projects and enabling students to take part in international competitions and exchanges.

SUPPORT THE DOWNTOWN BUILDING

The Hélène-Desmarais building in the heart of downtown Montreal is a hub of expertise and interaction with the business community. The location makes it easier to connect with executives and professionals, encourages the transfer of knowledge and spurs joint innovation with the School’s partners. This initiative has a positive impact on students, the business community and Quebec society as a whole.

Damien Le Bris

“The scholarship I received was not just a pat on the back: it encouraged me to push forward and go the extra mile. I’m extremely grateful to the member of the Club des Ambassadeurs who made this award possible, who taught me and who motivated me every step of the way.”

Damien Le Bris, certificate student, recipient of the Robert Denis Award
