Find new challenges every day to grow and improve, consider each goal as a starting point for new growth.
Look at the world with a positive and creative approach, without letting yourself be limited by the barriers of the ordinary and the consolidated, work with passion, keep your curiosity and always be courageous in whatever profession you are going to undertake;
be protagonists of your future'.
'Ornella Barra is an example of a courageous entrepreneur open to international challenges.
The entrepreneurial and international mindset must increasingly characterize the leaders of the future: at Luiss, male and female students experiment with innovative learning models that allow them to build their personal toolbox to investigate, interpret and act on the real world, and above all to reinvent or invent professions', said the rector Andrea Prencipe.
'Our daily life, in times that require increasing speed of adaptation and flexibility - said the general manager Giovanni Lo Storto - needs 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 valid formulas in every context.
Volunteering activities, ESG workshops, soft skills and sports, these are the transversal experiences that enrich the curriculum and profile of our students to prepare them for a constantly evolving job market'.
