Portrait: Imane, back to the fold!

Former student of infocom, Imane Barhoune is now the communication officer at the Institute of Information and Communication of the University of Lille, an entity that trained him in his early years in communication.

Smiling, Imane remembers her beginnings as she began her career as a promotion and communication officer for an engineering school. But this post, rather

After a moment of silence, Imane points to patience and zénitude, as the two qualities necessary for his job. Of course, if there were only two.
