On 29 June 2023, students and faculty of Tongji-SEM Master of Global Management (MGM) program gathered on the 23rd floor of Tongji Building A to celebrate the successful graduation of the Class of 2021. Professor WANG Hongwei, Deputy Dean of Tongji SEM and Ms. Grace SHOU, Director of International Cooperation and Accreditation Office delivered online speeches, while the program’s Academic Director Ms. LI Haiying and Ms. Zoey CHEN, International Educational Administration Director of Academic Office, were present and shared their graduation messages to the graduates. The teachers acknowledged the joint efforts and academic achievements of the students and encouraged them to continue to work hard and reach new heights. Ms. Claire HUANG, MGM Program Admission Manager hosted the event.

Student representatives from the classes of 2021 and 2022 joined with the Runner-up of 2023 Top Ten Campus Singers of Tongji University to present two songs, “Perfect” and “The Brightest Star in the Night Sky”, expressing their best wishes to the graduates through music.

Three graduates and nine representatives of current students took to the stage to share their reflections on their campus life and future academic, career plans with their peers. In the past two years, due to the epidemic, most of the students attended classes online and had few opportunities for face-to-face communication. This event was a valuable occasion for the students to get to know and communicate with each other, which strengthened the ties and bonds among alumni.

By the end of the event, students and teachers took group photos together and recorded the wonderful moment of reunion on campus. This photo bears witness to our common effort and unity, and guards the precious fellowship of our students. Gathering, we are like a fire; scattered, we are the bright stars shining in the sky. For the MGM graduates of 2023, leaving the campus means embarking on a new journey of life, meeting new challenges and opportunities. Together, let’s wish them a brilliant future!
