Friday, September 6th at 5:00 PM (CEST) marks Graduation Day, the most important day of the year for the Bologna Business School community. This day celebrates participants’ success in the Master’s and Executive Master’s programs while also marking the beginning of a new professional phase.
The Graduation will take place in Piazza Maggiore, in the heart of Bologna, a historic venue where the city’s most significant events have been held since its foundation and where, in recent years, the School’s Graduation ceremonies have also been held.
BBS steps out of its campus to hold this ceremony in the city center, which in turn warmly welcomes it. It is a moment rich in symbolic meaning, showcasing the work carried out throughout the year and highlighting the social impact of business education while also conveying the community’s expectations for the new graduates.
