Uncertain times, ‘famous bitter balls’ and 413 new, proud BSN alumni Saturday 17 September marked the 18th celebration of BSN’s Graduation Day. A fantastic and festive day, not only for the 413 graduates receiving their MBA and DBA certificates, but also for the staff of Business School Netherlands.
Not always a certainty, this year’s weather was remarkably festive too: it was a clear and sunny day in Scheveningen. When the official ceremony started, faces were still a bit tensed, with cautious smiles here and there of students dressed in traditional gowns and hats. When the director of BSN – Netherlands, Frank Campman, announced that ‘famous Dutch bitter balls’ were to be served later, the first loud laughs where audible.
Juanita Bouwer, Director of BSN – International, looks back on a remarkable day: “Graduation Day was once again a fantastic experience with international graduates hailing from so many different countries. It’s so very exciting to see the multi-cultural make-up of the alumni of BSN and knowing how many problems they have resolved in their organisations and own countries. Truly a networking experience for all with much joy!”
The highest highlight “They’ve shown that doing an MBA can truly be festive – given that, of course, it’s hard and challenging to keep up your job and family life at the same time. What a fantastic achievement to literally fly as high as they did!” narrates Arthur.
What a fantastic day, congratulations to all, we already look forward to next year!
