The UAEU College of Business and Economics (CBE) hosted a Celebration Ceremony to honor students recently completing the Master of Business Administration (MBA) or Master of Professional Accounting (MPA) degrees.  The event was held on Tuesday, 12 January 2016, at the Novotel Abu Dhabi.  Participants included MBA and MPA students who have completed their degree requirements successfully along with CBE faculty and staff, family and friends.

CBE Dean Geralyn McClure Franklin encouraged the honorees as follows:

While I might challenge you to go forth and change the world, what is more important is that you go forth and influence the world in which you live and work for the better.  You are the future of the United Arab Emirates.  You are the leaders who will continue to make the UAE great.  I challenge you to take this role seriously and be the leaders that will make this country even better than it is today, reflecting proudly that you are a graduate of the College of Business and Economics at the United Arab Emirates University.

Mr. Sheik Kabir, Assistant Director of the CBE MBA Program in Abu Dhabi, served as presiding officer for the event.  Four honorees gave inspiring remarks on their experiences on behalf of their cohorts including Ms. Eman Al Suwaidi (Abu Dhabi MBA Cohort), Ms. Rasha Al Muktar (Abu Dhabi MBA Cohort), Ms. Hessa M. Al Shamisi (Al Ain MBA Cohort), and Ms. Mariam Mohamad Al Sayed (Abu Dhabi MPA Cohort).

Others making remarks included Dr. Chiraz Labidi, CBE MBA Coordinator, and Prof. Khaled Al Jifri, CBE MPA Coordinator.  Dean Geralyn and Dr. Fernando Zanella, CBE Assistant Dean for Research and Graduate Studies, presented awards and certificates to each honoree, and then the group followed tradition by cutting the Celebration of Success cake.  The event concluded with networking over dinner.
