American University Kyiv marked the SECOND Graduation of AUK Masters and the FIRST Graduation of AUK students with double diplomas!
Last Friday, AUK reached a precious moment in its history by graduating its second cohort of master’s students and the first cohort of those who obtained both diplomas – from American University Kyiv and Arizona State University, becoming the first AUK students to hold dual degrees.
These are master's students of EPAM School of Digital Technologies and School of Management in three specialties – Global Management, Technology Leadership & AI, and Software Engineering, who got their diplomas at the special ceremony designed in full accordance with US academic traditions.
During the Graduation ceremony, which took place in AUK's iconic campus, AUK President Dan Rice congratulated all graduates,
“It's been a challenging time, some of you joined AUK when it was just an idea, just a dream before this building was opened. But you believed in us and we believe in you. And together, we built this great institution here in Ukraine, and I think that's something special and something that will last forever”.
On behalf of Arizona State University and Cintana Education, Regional CEO, Eastern Europe and Central Asia of Cintana Education and AUK Supervisory Board member Dr. Cagri Bagcioglu expressed congratulations,
“Today I bring you the best wishes from Arizona State University, its leadership, faculty, and staff, but more importantly from more than 300,000 students all over the world who are members of the Cintana Alliance. They admire you, they congratulate you, they celebrate your success. The future is yours. We are trusting you to rebuild this nation much stronger than ever. We believe that you will pass that torch to the next generation. You will help us to have a brighter future, which we all believe in".
We are highly proud of our new graduates and believe in their future and the future of Ukraine!
