An exceptional evening and a must-attend event for the academic and sports community of the Côte d’Azur, with Jean-Gérard Guarino, the director of the Master program, and his deputy Claude Roggero as the masters of ceremony.
With the presence, of course, of the representatives of the students who have just completed the course, and the new entrants for a symbolic but oh so significant passing of the torch!
We recorded a few words from the two main hosts:
Louis Nègre: “One must always remember the lessons of life and never abandon the fundamentals, namely the values that must always accompany us in our actions. The situations you will have to face will not always be simple, black or white, but sometimes you will have to find compromises. But this must be done while maintaining morality. Life is not paradise on earth, but it must be lived without ever forgetting your convictions.”
Anny Courtade: “Mine will be more of a testimony rather than a lectio magistralis, one from my life. I entered the world of sports by chance and it became my passion. To succeed in life, you need work, courage, and the spirit of enterprise. Remember, it is up to you to make things happen, and you cannot go through life on automatic pilot. Sport is a special arena because there is always what we call… the glorious uncertainty, and this pushes you even more to give your all: it’s above all the desire to want to do things that will be the key to your personal success.”
Final words from Jean-Gérard Guarino: “I wish you to be conscious and attentive students, youthful and timeless. I am proud to celebrate the 20th cohort tonight, an emblematic date that also signifies the success of what we embarked on a long time ago.”
Also present were:
professors Collomb and Gasperini (UNS), Pascal Bistarelli (VP Sport of UNS), Pierre Cambreal (CNOSF and CROS Paca), Laurence Antimi-Loppin (Regional Committee of University Sport), Jérôme Vandamme (CDOS06 and UPE Sport), Michel Masseglia (Staps and Nice Athlétique), Arnaud Giusti (Sports Service of the Monaco Town Hall), and other representatives of the Côte d’Azur sports movement.
