Luiss Guido Carli celebrated in the Aula Magna of the Campus, the inauguration of the 2022-2023 Academic Year. In the presence of its Top Management, it conferred the Doctorate Honoris Causa in Management on\u00a0Ornella Barra<\/strong>, Chief Operating Officer – International of Walgreens Boots Alliance. It was a seminal year for the University, under the many goals achieved and the international awards obtained, which consolidate its value in teaching, research, sustainability and employment.
During the Ceremony,\u00a0Ornella Barra<\/strong>\u00a0gave a Lectio Magistralis entitled “Doing business: the importance of values”. “Be happy with the goals achieved but keep looking around, seize the opportunities that present themselves to you and don’t wait for them to knock on your door, go and look for them! Find new challenges every day to grow and improve, and consider each goal as a starting point for new growth. Look at the world with a positive and creative approach, without being limited by the barriers of the ordinary and the consolidated, work with passion, nurture your curiosity and always be courageous in whatever profession you are going to undertake; be protagonists of your future!\u201d, said Ornella Barra.
\u201cOrnella Barra is an example of a courageous entrepreneur open to international challenges. Such an entrepreneurial and international mindset must increasingly characterize the leaders of the future: at Luiss, male and female students experiment with innovative learning models that enable them to build their toolbox to investigate, interpret and act on the real world, and above all to reinvent or invent professions. A toolbox that has paradoxical characteristics: it must be rich, but at the same time half-empty; protected but open; efficient but also ready to accept new challenges”, said the\u00a0Rector<\/strong>\u00a0Andrea Prencipe<\/strong>.
The\u00a0General Manager<\/strong>\u00a0Giovanni Lo Storto<\/strong>\u00a0commented: \u201cOur daily life, in times that require increasing speeds of adaptation and flexibility, calls for open and inclusive leaders who know how to deal with the complexity of today’s reality. At Luiss we encourage students to question themselves, learning that in life there are no predefined formulas that are valid in every context. Volunteering activities, ESG laboratories, soft skills and sports, these are the transversal experiences of\u00a0life large learning<\/em>\u00a0that enrich the curriculum and profile of our students to prepare them for a constantly evolving job market”.
Luiss Guido Carli recorded a new record in admission applications this year with an\u00a018%<\/strong>\u00a0increase for Bachelor’s, Single-cycle and Master’s degree courses compared to the previous year. The University continues its growth in teaching and research, increasingly consolidating itself as a reference point for a cosmopolitan community connected to the working world. The employment rate of graduates one year after graduation is confirmed at\u00a094%<\/strong>, with peaks of\u00a097%<\/strong>\u00a0for the Department of Economics and Finance. Furthermore, the international trajectory is strengthened with a student population comprising 88 nationalities and with a network of\u00a0315<\/strong>\u00a0partner universities in\u00a064<\/strong>\u00a0countries and\u00a058<\/strong>\u00a0double degree programs and structured partnerships, involving approximately\u00a02,300<\/strong>\u00a0students in outgoing and incoming mobility programs this year from nearly 10,000 subscribers.
\u201cThe constant rise of Luiss in national and international rankings testifies to the growth that the University has achieved by consolidating its role at a global level. Our University is at the forefront of creating, through higher education, strategic knowledge networks in the Europe-Mediterranean-Africa axis, thus contributing to strengthening the future ruling class of these countries. It is essential to continue investing in training,\u00a0to reactivate the social lift, reduce gaps and guarantee the same opportunities to all\u00a0<\/strong>“, said\u00a0President Vincenzo Boccia<\/strong>.\u00a0
During the Ceremony, Ornella Barra was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Management for her extraordinary managerial talent, combining competence, entrepreneurship, international vision, innovative leadership and corporate social responsibility.<\/p>\n
