Josep Franch院长强调了继续学习的重要性，他说到：“你们在这个项目里的学习虽然已经结束了，但是学习是没有止境的，未来一段时间内很多工作甚至行业都会消亡，只有保持学习才能成功应对。”他打趣道，毕业生一定能够成为比现在大多数政客都要优秀明智的全球领导者！

这一横跨3个国家的项目能够顺利进行，离不开所有教职工的支持和付出。从学习上的课程反馈、学业跟进，到生活上的衣食住行、出国签证，再到就业上的专业指导和工作机会，老师们都尽其所能给予学生最悉心的照顾和最契合的资源。

On the summer night of 14th June, 2019, the graduation ceremony of the 2018-2019 International Business Programme was held in ESADE, Spain, where students completed their final stage of this programme before graduating. The ceremony began with speeches of three Deans – Professor Josep Franch from ESADE, Professor Carl Zeithamal from McIntire, and Professor Lu Jun from Lingnan (University) College. They all highly praised for the hard work of every graduate, and expressed their expectations of students from perspectives of leadership, learning ability, and current challenges of globalization.

Professor Josep Franch emphasized the significance of continuous learning. He mentioned that even though the programme has finished, the process of study has not as learning is the only way to help students thrive in the world where many jobs might be replaced eventually.

Professor Carl Zeithamal congratulated graduates for completing such an intensive global programme in a limited time while adapting to new culture and environment smoothly. Other than that, he asked the cohort to keep their ambitiousness in the future and be outstanding leaders.

Professor Lu Jun shared his belief that although globalization is now facing challenges, it would not be the end of international collaboration. He encouraged graduates to contribute their own parts in propelling corporations toward globalization while targeting the right spot in employment markets and go far.

All faculty and professional staff across three countries were appreciated as the success of this programme cannot be achieved without contributions from them. They provided a variety of support and resources to students, and ensured each of them received a positive study experience before, during, and after the study period.

Associate Professor Amanda Cowen of McIntire, University of Virginia, reviewed the words that she told students in the beginning of the programme that dissimilarities would definitely lead to uncomfortable feelings at some point. However, to learn to be inclusive and overcome the difficulties in terms of culture and habits is the uniqueness of this programme.

Associate professor Liu Heng of Lingnan (University) College said: “There are full of challenges in the way ahead, yet the opportunities and challenges often coexist”. Furthermore, Associate Professor Frank Wiengarten from ESADE appreciated graduates’ efforts, and reminded them that the end of this programme is also a beginning of their new life.

Another impressive speech was given by one of the student representatives, He Rui. His humorous presentation style brought the cohort back to those meaningful moments. Rui made a metaphor of the cohort as ingredients in “a large pan of Valencian paella”. They do not seem to be mixed well at first, yet they will eventually blend in and forming a delicious pan of food with unforgettable taste. This is the glamour of the programme.

As Professor Josep Franch (ESADE) said at the end of the night: “Never stop learning, do not be afraid of making mistakes, be a future leader, and be a better person!”
