"The most important aspect is the journey you’ve made, in other words all the effort you’ve put in, everything you’ve learned from your professors and classmates, and everything you’ve learned about yourself. This journey equips you well to take up the ambitious challenges awaiting in your future life. Nothing is more precious and important than learning, remaining open to new knowledge, keeping contact with rewarding people and continuing to learn", underlined Emmanuel Métais, Dean of EDHEC Business School.

The traditional mortar-board tossing and group photo were followed by a cocktail reception.
