The graduation ceremony and celebrations were part of the 2023 CEMS Annual Events which, in CEMS 35th anniversary year, included the adoption of the updated CEMS Vision. Inspired by the fundamental challenges faced by humanity in the 21st century, the CEMS Global Alliance is emphasizing its commitment to developing responsible leaders who pursue sustainable business solutions that benefit humanity and the planet we all share.
On behalf of CEMS Strategic Board, CEMS Chair, Professor Lars Strannegård, President of the Stockholm School of Economics said: “CEMS has always valued the strength in difference. We cultivate leaders who are curious and capable of discernment, who have the mental and emotional strength to confront challenges with humility and integrity, who resolve to learn and understand deeply the complexities of our time. Our 35th anniversary is the ideal time to reaffirm our commitment to the idea that the leaders who will be best prepared for the future will be free and unafraid in an uncertain world, will be humane citizens who can engage fully and think independently, and will contribute to a more open, sustainable, and inclusive world.
“The objective of each CEMS member school is to cultivate and support broad-minded leaders who are free to ask questions and to interpret information using evidence, logic, and critical reasoning. CEMS thinkers are empowered to make decisions, master new technologies, and lead in a pluralistic world.
“We congratulate all our 2023 graduates, applaud them for their outstanding achievement and welcome them into the CEMS community.”
