The conclusion and the starting point
Speaking on behalf of the graduating class, Agustina Laurenzo, a graduate of the Business Management and Administration program, shared her reflections on the journey taken by those who have completed their studies.
During his speech, he highlighted the challenge many students faced in balancing their college studies with work, family responsibilities, and other daily commitments.
“Many of us studied while working, juggling our schedules as best we could, attending classes after long workdays or relying on recorded lectures when we had other responsibilities to attend to,” he said.
Laurenzo also noted that, beyond the academic content, the process helped students develop essential skills for the professional world, such as adaptability, sound judgment in decision-making, and self-confidence.
This degree is not just a milestone; it is also a starting point. It sets the stage for us, provides a foundation, and drives us to continue growing, both professionally and personally.
