Alisia Gahabka

FS Chance – Ein lebensverändernder Einfluss

FS Chance hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, Studierende zu inspirieren, zu vernetzen und zu unterstützen. Die Initiative findet in Kooperation mit der ehrenamtlichen Organisation KinderHelden statt. Durch ihr persönliches Engagement bei KinderHelden können Studierende etwas bewirken, das ihr Leben und das eines Kindes verändert.
Digital social networking is harder than we think, maybe not technologically, but certainly socially. FS Charity is committed to raising awareness on important social issues among students. For an event on the 4th of November, Xiaoning Lyu was invited to share her insights on how she used art to help people to connect and how she started her ventures.

FS Fashion Business: Getting a glimpse into the fashion industry
Niharinth Selva
Fashion is a crucial value-creating industry for the global economy. If the global fashion sector were placed alongside individual countries' GDP, it would be the world's seventh-largest economy. FS Fashion Business is the brainchild of our students who want to tap into this industry's wealth of knowledge.
HEC Paris organises the HEC Business Game, where they select 100 participants from all over the globe to solve real-life business cases. This year the theme was sustainability and innovation. In addition to the business games, the event also included networking dinners, presentations from partner companies and a tour of the HEC Campus.

Breaking the bias: Women in Business and Tech at FS

Zeena Jaber

How much impact can an individual have? How much change can a group of women make in this world? I used to think that you can’t do much despite doing your best and having your best intentions in mind. My mindset has changed, however. I now believe that to so much as have one person question the way they think and re-evaluate their bias is incredible.

FS Women in Business – a platform to connect, network, learn, and grow

Mona Jasmin Baumann

Like many of you, I had already informed myself before my first semester what student initiatives FS has to offer, and one clearly caught my eye: Women in Business. Without further ado, I took part in the kick-off event and signed up for the list of participants without knowing how much enrichment and fun this would bring me.

„Ausruhen geht nicht, Ausruhen ist Rückschritt. Wir müssen immer am Ball bleiben, Ideen erarbeiten und auf Innovationen früh genug aufspringen” Ein Zitat von Stefan Schulte, CEO der Fraport AG, der im Rahmen der studentischen Initiative FS Economy & Politics die Frankfurt School besuchte.

Impact Investing meets Real Estate – NEXT Generation Invest GmbH speaking at FS
Cara Reuner
Looking at demographic changes, climate change and social inequalities are constantly placing new, unmet demands on housing and social infrastructure. Addressing affordability and adequacy as well as social inclusivity and environmental sustainability in the context of urbanism is central to an impact-oriented real estate investment strategy.
I am sure you can think of a million ways to spend time with the person you love. I am also sure that ‘getting arrested and beaten for holding hands’ is not on that list. Sadly, for people living in Zimbabwe and Zambia, loving each other without fear is more than they could ever hope for.

Stop hiding who you are and express your true colours

Mona Jasmin Baumann

As part of society, we are cautious to express our true colours. We disguise ourselves in order to meet the rules of social normativity. The real shame in this is that by being cautious, we not only put obstacles in our own way and cause our own unhappiness, but also prevent those around us, colleagues, friends, and family, from getting to know the real us.

Der promovierte Historiker und Politikwissenschaftler ist für seine langjährige Tätigkeit als Generalsekretär der CDU bekannt.
I selected Frankfurt School within the partners of my university because of its reputation in finance. When I arrived, I didn’t know many people, but many events were organized to make us feel welcome and connect with each other.
