Student of the Year Award
We are proud to have been able to present the Student of the Year award to Mr. Julien TESTA. In the opinion of his classmates, Julien has demonstrated a regular and significant commitment to the projects developed by the class and with his peers. This commitment has served as an example and has encouraged other students to become more involved.
Her generosity, her spirit of mutual aid, her kindness were also noted. Her human qualities and her open-mindedness contributed to creating a favorable environment for all within the class.


To quote what one of his comrades said about him:
“Julien stands out for his total and constant commitment to everything he undertakes. Whether it is his academic efforts, his support of others or his interactions, he always gives the best of himself. Despite the personal difficulties he has encountered this year, he has continued to demonstrate remarkable determination and generosity. Many people could have caved in under pressure, but he chose to transform these challenges into strength. He has not let these difficulties overwhelm him or affect his attitude towards his colleagues. His dedication and his ability to maintain a high level of involvement and quality, even in the most difficult times, are what truly sets him apart.”
The point of view of his teachers overlaps that of his classmates: Julien is a good student who has the merit of having distinguished himself by being a driving force in the class.
Julien also demonstrated exemplary behavior in the face of adversity. Despite personal difficulties this year, his desire to always progress, his perseverance and his resilience allowed him to complete his training and finally succeed in his Master's degree in a more than honorable way since he received an honors degree and is in the top 5 of the class.
