The ceremony honored graduates who have transformed themselves through our distinctive blend of theory and practice. We were particularly proud to recognize Carina Pfiefer, this year's top-performing student, who earned the highest marks in her cohort. Neil Thompson conducted an inspiring on-stage interview with Carina, highlighting how she embodied our program's mission to develop entrepreneurial knowledge, skills, and attitude.
The event featured a distinguished panel discussion with Max Mulhuijzen, Arthur Oudendijk, and Filip Szturo, who generously shared their perspectives on the evolving entrepreneurial landscape and career opportunities. Their real-world insights perfectly complemented the practical challenges and cases our graduates tackled throughout the program, offering guidance for the exciting journeys ahead.
Adding a memorable touch to the celebration, Demi Jansen and Jaysyley Seedorf delivered a beautiful performance of "Best Day of My Life"—a fitting soundtrack for this momentous occasion.
This achievement reflects our entire community's collective effort. To our graduates: your dedication and entrepreneurial spirit have brought you to this proud moment. To our faculty and lecturers: your expertise bridging crucial theories with practical application has shaped the next generation of entrepreneurs. To our staff and support team: your tireless work makes everything possible.
As we celebrate this record-breaking class, we look forward to watching our graduates launch startups, drive innovation in established organizations, and make their entrepreneurial mark on the world.
Congratulations to the Class of 2024!
