Glion Alumni Council opens a new chapter for alumni representation
Applications are now open to join the newly created Glion Alumni Council, a global consultative body designed to give alumni a stronger voice in shaping Glion’s alumni strategy and initiatives.
The Council will foster regular dialogue between alumni representatives and Glion’s senior leadership. Seven alumni members will serve alongside Managing Director Philippe Vignon, the Head of Career and Alumni Services & Industry Relations, and the Alumni Services & Communication Manager.
The Alumni Council will:
Represent the diversity of Glion’s global alumni community
Provide input and perspectives on Glion’s alumni strategy and priorities
Serve as a sounding board for new services and initiatives
Support meaningful alumni engagement around the world
Strengthen connections between alumni, students, Glion and its industry partners
Identify opportunities that create tangible value for alumni throughout their careers
“Our alumni community is one of Glion’s greatest strengths. Its members bring an extraordinary diversity of experience, perspectives and connections,” explains Philippe Vignon. “The Alumni Council will enable us to draw on this collective intelligence more consistently and involve alumni directly in shaping initiatives that deliver real value to our global community.”
A global Council with regional and local reach
The Council will be supported by a wider network of appointed alumni representatives:
Regional Council Leaders will provide leadership and coordination across key regions, encourage collaboration and partnerships, and support the development of local alumni communities.
Local Council Delegates will engage directly with alumni in their markets, organise events, identify partnership opportunities and member benefits, and support alumni careers and entrepreneurship.
Applications for these regional and local roles will open once the founding Alumni Council has been appointed.
The Council will run parallel to the activities of the independent Alumni Association of Glion (AAG). Both organisations will contribute, in their respective roles, to building a strong, connected and engaged Glion alumni community.
Could you be one of our founding Council members?
All Glion alumni, regardless of programme, graduation year, location or professional background, are invited to apply.
Council members will serve a two-year term and may complete a maximum of two consecutive terms. They will be selected with the aim of creating a balanced and representative Council. Consideration will be given to:
Gender balance
Geographic representation
Graduation period
Professional background and experience
Motivation and ability to contribute actively to the Council’s work
The application and selection timeline is:
2 September 2026: Application deadline

Continuing a tradition of alumni engagement
“We are immensely proud of our alumni — not only for what they have achieved professionally, but also for the consistent and generous way in which so many continue to contribute to Glion long after graduation,” adds Philippe Vignon.
“Lifetime services such as Glion Alumni Unlimited are one way in which we support our alumni throughout their careers. The Alumni Council will take this commitment further by bringing alumni perspectives into our discussions, strengthening connections across our global community and helping us develop initiatives that respond to alumni needs.”
