College Visit Today

This is a reminder that Glion Institute of Higher Education, Les Roches International School of Hotel Management, The University of Law combined information session will be 11:30-12:30 at LGR 3. All students and parents are welcome.

 

Happy International Men’s Day!

On November 19, International Men’s Day (IMD) celebrates the positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities. It is a day to highlight positive role models and raise awareness of men’s well-being. The theme for 2024 is “Positive Male Role Models”.

Today, we celebrate the men and boys in our lives who enrich our lived experience. Recognizing that men and boys are diverse and different is one of the main goals of IMD. By challenging reductive stereotypes like “Boy’s don’t cry”, we can collectively promote alternative, kinder, more liberated versions of masculinity that can act as genuine role models for young boys to aspire to.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL MEN’S DAY!!!!
