Dean’s Message

Dear Students,

Today we come together to celebrate your outstanding achievements and to welcome you into our global family of CEIBS alumni. The fact that we are hosting this celebration online should in no way diminish the dedication, determination and grit that you have brought to the classroom every single day in order to call yourself a Master of Business Administration.

I am fortunate in my role as Dean to meet CEIBS MBA alumni, both old and young, on a regular basis, and from this I can promise you one thing. The memories that you leave with today; the knowledge, explorations, successes, failures and most importantly friendships, will become more and more cherished with each passing year.?

I can’t imagine a happier day than the formal graduation ceremony that we are planning for you all on campus next year. The opportunity to celebrate in person, with the pandemic firmly behind us, will be an emotional one for everybody who has played a part in your success.

Until then, I encourage you all to face the challenges of these unprecedented times with a spirit of conscientiousness, innovation and excellence. Now more than ever the World needs leaders who embrace and embody these words. I challenge you to reflect on this going forwards and look forward to seeing you online soon.

Warm regards,
Dr. Ding Yuan
