Last March, students from the Graduação em Administração (Global Bachelor in Business) programme at SKEMA Brazil celebrated their graduation ceremony – a meaningful moment that marked both the achievements of the past and the ambitions of the future.

The event was led by Professor Paulo de Castro and attended by Geneviève Poulingue, Dean and Executive President of SKEMA, Sophie Lafitte, Deputy Consul General of France in Belo Horizonte, and Rosendo Magela Reis, representative of the Regional Council of Administration of Minas Gerais (CRA-MG).

Several students were recognised for their outstanding academic performance. Luíza Guimarães received the Láurea Acadêmica por Desempenho Acadêmico as well as the Certificado de Honra ao Mérito. Anne Junqueira Gadbem was also awarded the Láurea Acadêmica por Mérito Acadêmico and a Certificado de Honra ao Mérito.

Professor Mario Sergio Teixeira Marques, chosen as class patron, delivered an inspiring speech, stating: “You are now leaving SKEMA like sharpened blades, ready to face the challenges of the market with intelligence, strategy and ethics.”

Congratulations to all our graduates. This milestone marks the beginning of a new chapter – one driven by purpose, success and a positive impact on the world.
