On Friday, November 29th, the Dogana in Innsbruck provided a festive setting for the MCI graduation ceremonies of the Department of Business & Management. Together with family, friends, and employers, the graduates of the bachelor’s programs in Business & Management for Professionals and Business & Management as well as the master’s program in International Business & Management celebrated their successful completion of studies.
A dignified celebration with inspiring words
Rector Prof. Andreas Altmann and Mag. Mag. (FH) Barbara Thaler, President of the Economic Chamber Tyrol, emphasized the importance of education as the key to personal and societal development, offering the graduates encouraging words as they embark on their journeys.
Prof. Franz Pegger, who officiated the ceremonies, led the graduates in the traditional pledge and presented the certificates that officially confer the academic degrees of Bachelor or Master of Arts.
The ceremony was not only an occasion for joy but also an opportunity to honor the achievements of the students and their supporters. Prof. Thomas Stöckl, head of the bachelor’s program in Business & Management, delivered an impressive speech, as did Prof. Michael Razen, the head of the Department and its bachelor’s and master’s programs.
“With our graduation ceremony, we celebrate the future that our graduates will help shape and define,” Prof. Razen highlighted in his speech, adding, “This world will be in good hands – it will be in your hands!” This sentiment reflects the great responsibility the graduates are ready to take on with confidence and commitment.
Gratitude and unity
Special thanks were extended to families and employers whose support was instrumental in the students’ success. The emotional atmosphere underscored the close bonds that developed during their studies – not only among the students themselves but also with the MCI.
Onward to new horizons
This dignified ceremony marks the end of a formative chapter and the beginning of a promising future. The graduates leave not only with their diplomas but also with lasting friendships and invaluable experiences. We are confident that they will actively shape the future and look forward to maintaining friendly exchanges with them and witnessing their continued success in the years to come.
