🎓 My GMBA Graduation Ceremony at National Taiwan University 🎉


Graduation is a special moment that marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. On June 2, 2019, I had the honor of attending the Global MBA (GMBA) graduation ceremony at National Taiwan University (NTU). It was a proud moment not only for us graduates but also for the professors, parents, and peers who supported us throughout this journey. 🎊

The event was held at NTU’s College of Management, where the 12th batch of GMBA graduates gathered to celebrate this milestone. For me, this ceremony symbolized the fulfillment of my academic and personal goals. I joined the program seeking personal growth, networking opportunities, and career expansion. Standing there with my classmates, I realized how much we had achieved together. 💡✨












📅 A Day to Remember

The day started with warmth and excitement as graduates and guests were welcomed at the reception area. 🌸 Each of us received flowers, program lists, and thoughtful GMBA-branded souvenirs, including pens and washi tapes as keepsakes. It was wonderful to see my peers, many of whom had customized their graduation caps to reflect their unique journeys. 🎭🎓

Before the formal program began, we lined up for the final march, sharing brief chats, last-minute selfies 🤳, and plenty of laughter 😄. The GMBA Ohana spirit was alive as we helped each other adjust our gowns and caps, ensuring we all looked our best. 💙👨‍🎓👩‍🎓











🎶 The Ceremony 🎤

As we entered the auditorium, music played 🎶, and we were greeted by friends, family, and faculty. The program opened with greetings in multiple languages 🌏, showcasing the diversity of the GMBA community. Hearing greetings in Hindi, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, German, French, and many more languages made me feel proud to be part of such a vibrant and inclusive program. ❤️

Our hosts, Kai Shang from Taiwan 🇹🇼 and Valentina Foykar from Austria 🇦🇹, presented a beautiful video montage 🎥 of special moments from our GMBA journey. It was a nostalgic and emotional walk down memory lane, reminding us of the challenges, growth, and friendships we had built along the way. 💞

🏆 Celebrating Achievements

One by one, we walked across the stage, our tassels turned by professors, and diplomas awarded with pride. 🎓🏅 It was a moment of triumph and accomplishment that I will cherish forever.

🌍 Reflections on the Journey

The GMBA program at NTU is more than just academics 📚. It’s a melting pot of cultures, ideas, and experiences that transforms you in ways you never expect. For me, this journey was about more than coursework—it was about:
✔️ Building friendships 🤝 with people from around the world.
✔️ Learning from different perspectives 💡 and industries.
✔️ Growing both personally and professionally 📈.

As I stood with my classmates, tossing our caps 🎓 into the air, I felt immense gratitude for this journey. 💖

I carry the lessons and memories from NTU GMBA with me, knowing they will guide me in my next chapter. 🎯

To my professors, peers, and the GMBA Office—thank you for making this experience extraordinary! 🙏

Here’s to the bonds we’ve built, the knowledge we’ve gained, and the future we are creating together! 🌟
