Back
alumni to Fcom
Some say their best years were at university. In this program, we reconnect with alumni reminisce, share their stories, and also look to the future. They graduated from FCOM. Now, they're back.
In each episode, we talk to alumni from the University of Navarra's School Communication who return to the programs of study to reminisce about their years as students, share their perspective on the profession, and offer advice on training and building a successful future to those who are just starting their professional careers.
What does success mean to these guests? Have they achieved it? What remains of those students who walked the gray hallways of FCOM?
All this and much more on De Vuelta. With Asier Maestu and Javier Martirena ( COM '28), produced by Radio Universidad de Navarra, for the School Communication.
