The IE Partners’ Club welcomed on January 2 new members for their club. This represents the second intake of members as the new students from other programs arrived in January. As well as introducing themselves, current members, all partners from the International MBA students who arrived in October and November of 2005, got together to present their initiatives to the newly arrived. The club keeps on growing and so does its program!

The IE Partners’ Club has, as part of its list of activities, an Almodóvar Movie Series. These take place regularly in the IE premises and all partners and students are invited. With this series, the Club tries to present an interesting view of Spain and, in many cases, of Madrid through the eyes of one of the most internationally renowned Spanish directors. Almodóvar has developed through his career a very characteristic style both thematically and aesthetically. It is through this that international students can be exposed to the “other” Spain and local students can enjoy some of the classics. The Partners’ Club has played so far “Pepi, Lucy, Bom y las otras chicas del montón” (the director’s first commercial film) and “Mujeres al Borde de un Ataque de Nervios” (the first movie to reach international exposure). Hope to see you for our next movie!
