Annually, Kyiv-Mohyla Business School looks forward to June 28 with a pleasant excitement, because of convocation, the ceremony of awarding diplomas to MBA graduates that traditionally takes place on this day.

Convocation is not just a special event, but also a symbol of the continuous pursuit of knowledge, development and continuous improvement. At the same time, it marks the completion of studies and opens a new stage in the lives of graduates empowered with the experience and knowledge gained at the school.

This year, 49 participants who successfully completed the program and defended their graduation projects received their diplomas. Most of them started their studies at the beginning of the full-scale war, seeking change and development of their businesses and the country overall.   

Traditionally, the participants were greeted by the heads of the MBA programs Eduard Maltsev (PMBA), Olena Maltseva (EMBA), and Yevhen Pentsak (MBAF), as well as the Dean of Kyiv-Mohyla Business School Oleksandr Savruk and the President of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy Serhiy Kvit. 

Oleksandr Savruk, Dean of kmbs, noted that readiness for challenges and the ability to think strategically already deserve respect: “We should remember our strength, our dreams, and that we are here together to change for the better.”

Traditionally, the Dean's Award "Breakthrough" was also presented to those who have achieved special achievements in their studies. This year, it was awarded to Andriy Demianovych (EMBA-39), Mariia Mykhailiuk (PMBA-24), Olga Stefanyshyna (PMBA-25) and the entire MBAF-14 group.

We congratulate the graduates and wish them strength, perseverance and new discoveries!
