On June 13 we celebrated the students’ completion of the Master’s programme in Environmental Management and Policy. After two years of pandemic, we could finally have a traditional ceremony in the university assembly hall, with graduates, family and friends gathered. The ceremony started with a procession with flags and graduates and teachers walking from the IIIEE building to the main university building.
Jenny Palm, Director of the IIIEE, encouraged the students to go out in the world and make the change happen in her speech. She also said that the IIIEE will always be their intellectual home.
Emma-Kate Chetty and Sonja Leyvraz held the students' speech. In their speech they focused on some apps that have played an important role for b27 during their studies – for instance Zoom, Spotify and Canvas. The students have had a special time during their studies, and they called themselves “the covid batch”. Despite this, it’s obvious that b27 have come very close to each other and made friends for life. The ceremony was filled with emotions and a lot of joy and excitement.
Congratulations to all graduates and we hope we will stay in touch through our alumni network!
