Over a thousand new and returning EGADE Business School - Tecnológico de Monterrey students enthusiastically participated in their classes at the start of the April-July 2022 trimester.

In particular, students in the face-to-face graduate programs at EGADE Business School were able to start their trimester in person from the very first week of classes for the first time in two years, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The January-April trimester began in the remote modality and then went back to in-person after a few weeks.

Students also started classes this semester in EGADE Business School’s online graduate programs.

On describing her journey towards financial management, Expansion states that Iglesias is aware that there are “still” very few women CFOs in Mexico, but is certain that this situation will change.
