On 19 September, a 7.1 magnitude earthquake ripped through Mexico City, devastating the area. Tragically, among the casualties are a number of students from Tecnológico de Monterrey, the home university of EGADE Business School. The Global Network is about more than just academic collaboration. We are a community that supports one another. In this moment of crisis for our friends in Mexico, we have the opportunity to stand together and to help on a larger scale than any one of us alone. Global Network members express our affection for our friends at EGADE and at the Tecnológico de Monterrey and stand in solidarity with them. If you wish to help, please make a donation directly to the Mexican Red Cross, through the Cruz Roja Mexicana Amazon wishlist, or through another charity helping those in the area.
