On Tuesday, June 24th, from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM, Rome Business School invites its community to take part in a meaningful initiative that brings together solidarity, wellbeing, and connection. Organized by the Alumni Office, the Open Garden – A Morning to Give Back event is designed for students, alumni, faculty and staff who wish to contribute to a vital cause while sharing a special moment on campus.
In collaboration with AVIS (Italian Voluntary Blood Association), the initiative offers the opportunity to donate blood in a safe and professional environment, followed by a relaxing breakfast in the school’s welcoming setting.
