Tunis Business School Campus Director’s Word

Ranim Ben Slama is the current TBS Campus Director at Hult Prize Foundation. Here we’re quoting some of what she said:

“It is an honor for me being the Campus Director of world’s largest student event for social change and bringing the Hult Prize, once again, to our university this year. I am also incredibly excited to meet all of our competing teams and get to know their innovative ideas. I would like to personally thank everyone involved in the movement for being part of a generation that is changing the world through for good, for-profit business.”

Ranim Ben Slama, Campus Director at Hult Prize Foundation

She added: “At the end of this journey, we all get to realize that the Hult Prize is more than just a competition; it is a movement that brings everyone together. Students gain opportunities to showcase their talents, corporate companies and local organizations seize the opportunity to collaborate, encourage and push young talents forward, and we as organizers get a chance celebrate the fruit of our hard work — a successful event, and a community of talented students changing the world!”
