In December 2023 we hosted 33 of the world’s top Management schools from the CEMS Alliance to celebrate the 2023 graduate cohort. It was an opportunity to bring together the CEMS community, including academic faculty members, professional service staff, alumni, and students, for a week of meetings, events, and dinners.
Highlights from attendees included:
"The highlights for me were firstly, the Annual Meeting Dinner held in The Great Hall, Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn - a social evening that brought together the whole CEMS community. Secondly, it would be the CEMS MiM Graduation Ceremony, held at ExCeL London where we celebrated the achievements of the 1,285 students from the 2023 graduating class, 869 of whom travelled to London along with friends and family. The generous donation to the CEMS Annual Events enabled us to create the special touches that made the day so memorable.” ~ Leah Murray (CEMS Project Manager)
“Without a doubt, a highlight of the graduation ceremony was being surrounded by friends and family on that special day. In my graduation speech, I mentioned the CEMS community- it was only on the day that I realised how tangible this was, surrounded by CEMS friends, their friends, and families from around the world, with everyone in such a good mood. The musical touch brought by the amazing surprise choir performances was the icing on top. I will always remember us graduands and our families singing 'all you need is love' all together, feeling like anything is possible and that our future is bright.” ~ Mathilde Francois (CEMS Student Representative)
