From Students to Alumni: The Moment a New Story Begins!

AUK Graduation is not just about receiving diplomas; it is about deep meanings, traditions and a special connection that lasts a lifetime. One of the most touching moments of the ceremony was the official transition of our graduates into the AUK Alumni community.

They crossed this important milestone together with Elina Bodzhek (ASU Master of Leadership and Management & AUK Master of Global Management), who addressed the graduates with inspiring words of wisdom,

"Degrees are earned, but bonds are lifelong. Being an Alumni is about more than just looking back at your student years. It is about supporting one another, staying endlessly curious, acting with integrity, thinking globally, and remembering that true education is a lifelong journey".

 

In memory of this day, Elina presented representatives of each graduating specialty with a special symbol of AUK – a statuette in the form of a legendary ship. The same one that adorns the spire of the main campus of AUK (the historic building of the River Station).

This ship is a symbol of the right course, the courage to open new horizons and a reminder: wherever you are – in Ukraine or abroad – the doors of AUK are always open for you, and your connection with your alma mater is only getting stronger from today!

Congratulations to our graduates! You are now officially part of the big AUK Alumni family. Go forth and shine the light of our values upon the world!
