Last Friday was MBA graduation day at Henley; the best day of the whole programme for every particpant. These days it’s also become one of the best days of my Henley year, too, as I now recognise so many of the names and faces of those at the ceremony (my early years at Henley were spent seeing a previous generation get to the end). Plus, there was the bonus of meeting, even if only briefly, their family and friends.
This year’s event even had perfect English autumn sunshine to add to the procession of gowns and mortar boards (gloriously and hat-hazardly thrown in the air afterwards). As in previous years, Frempong Acheampong won the best-dressed academic competition and the Dean deserves praise for having done some sincere and detailed homework on the pronunciation of graduand names. No small feat, given their geographic diversity.
It was generous of those who, on the day, also took the effort and trouble to come and say hello, and affirm that the Personal Development elements of the programme had made such a difference to what they were getting out of the degree. 🙂

good motivator for us EM15 lot to get to graduation day!
Hi Chris,
indeed, it was a beautiful graduation day and I was lucky enough to be there and to get my MSc.
We met once in a session about presentation and communication during my journey in Henley. I was part of a Deutsche Telekom Personal Development Programm.
You introduced us to TED and we say the Benjamin Zander video :-))
All the best,
Carsten
