300 high-school students visit EPFL in German and Italian
© 2013 EPFL
German- and Italian-speaking high school students came to EPFL yesterday for an information day tailored for them. The number of participants turned out to be significantly higher than last years, showing a growing interest in EPFL from non-French speaking regions of Switzerland.
At the Rolex Forum, visitors got the chance to pass by booths from all sections, and later participated in 2 different activities in their respective fields of interest. Swiss-German and Swiss-Italian EPFL students were guiding the participants through the day, answering all their specific questions.
A students' population where all Swiss cultures are represented is a very important dimension of EPFL. This information day is therefore a key event for putting forward the attractiveness of the campus and how students enjoy studying here. This day was made a success with the energy invested by the sections and the wonderful enthusiasm shown by all students representing EPFL on this occasion.
