Message from the Dean of SSBM Geneva, Dr.med. Amira Alqam Simcox.
To all students,
I want to pause as we close out 2024 and boldly enter 2025 to consider the amazing journey we have traveled with over the past year and to anticipate the great opportunities that lie ahead.
Observations for 2024: Development and Adaptability
In the previous year, we commemorated significant events that have shaped our community. Every event, from organizing the IBIS 2024 Conference, where we investigated innovative ideas in security and business, to the excitement of our Graduation Ceremony, has demonstrated our shared commitment and aspirations. Through these experiences, I believe we may all learn that the foundations of success are teamwork, flexibility, and a dedication to lifelong learning.
Anticipating 2025: An Innovative and Influential Year
As 2025 approaches, I urge everyone to consider the legacy they wish to leave behind. This year presents an opportunity for us to expand on the solid base we have already built and to discover new avenues for both professional and personal development.
I have the following message for you as we begin the new year:
1. Have Big Dreams, Start Small: Every great accomplishment starts with one small step. Remember to take things one step at a time, even if you have big ambitions for yourself.
2. Be Resilient: Although obstacles may arise, your ability to bounce back from them will determine how your trip unfolds. Consider setbacks as chances to improve and learn.
3. Keep Your Mind Open to Innovation: 2025 is a year to welcome change and exercise your creativity, whether in your academic pursuits, professional endeavours, or personal lives.
4. Give Back: Accomplishments that have a beneficial influence on others are the most satisfying. Seek out opportunities to help individuals in your neighbourhood and provide a hand to others.
Our Dedication at SSBM Geneva
As your academic dean, I am dedicated to making sure SSBM Geneva continues to be a place where greatness, diversity, and innovation flourish. We will be launching new initiatives, organising life-changing events, and expanding your chances to network with influential people around the world in your professions this year.
This year, 2025, is your chance to shine, not just another one. Let us make it an occasion for life-changing accomplishments, deep learning, and meaningful connections. We can make this year one to remember if we work together.
I hope this year brings you happiness, success, and progress!
An Important Remark for 2025
Remember that we are creating the future, not waiting for it. This year, let us work together to produce greatness!
Warm Regards,
Dr.med. Amira Alqam Simcox
