AIESEC has been endorsed by: Senator Robert Kennedy, President Jimmy Carter,
President George H.W. Bush, President Richard Nixon, President Bill Clinton, President Ronald
Reagan, President John F. Kennedy, and U.K. Prime Minister John Major.
"AIESEC opens the world up to young people, and it opened it up for me. Through their programs,
work opportunities, conferences and outreach they surmount cultural barriers and foster a deeper
and more meaningful sense of global possibility. My time in AIESEC brought tremendous growth for
me, and through it I saw how so many of our problems and challenges, as well as our blessings and
strengths, are universal for people around the globe. It is a special fellowship, one of purpose
and vision, and proof of its sustained value can be found in the fact that the first class 50 years
ago had less than 100 students enrolled in it and now AIESEC is in almost 100 countries. I will
always be grateful for what I learned both through the people who ran the programs and my peers in
them.”

international and intercultural awareness, integrity, intuition and communication skills. We are
always happy to have talented, committed and open-minded AIESEC students on internships with us and

"For more than thirty years, PricewaterhouseCoopers has been a proud supporter of AIESEC. At
present, PricewaterhouseCoopers’ partnership with AIESEC involves over 50 territories and is
constantly proving successful. Leading in our business means being able to foster positive change
by managing complex situations on a global scale. In order to achieve this, we need to be able to
reach a high level of understanding of the complexity of the external environment and succeed in
operating out of the normal comfort zone. For this we need young people and AIESEC unites a global
network of talented and innovative, young people who strive to make a positive contribution to the
world celebrating cultural diversity, leadership and teamwork. On behalf of the partners of
PricewaterhouseCoopers I am honoured to endorse AIESEC’s vision of 'peace and fulfilment of
mankind's potential'.

open society in their companies and communities. This organization of bright, enthusiastic young
people from all corners of the globe is dedicated to providing international internships that serve
both its student members and participating organizations and provide understanding between
cultures. The foundations I established and currently fund promote AIESEC’s activities in many
countries."
