Convocation!

June 15, 2009 · 7 Comments

I got in Thursday night and then Friday morning was Convocation! At first I was like….oh man…so tired, I wish I could just stay home. But I go there and it was great to see everyone again. And dressed up in our robes and sitting there, it really felt great. Wow how time has gone. It was an incredible 2 years where I learned a lot but also made many many great friends.

The ceremony itself was kept to a reasonable length. Everyone got their moment. And one of the highlights was Michael Porter speaking there. He was given an honourary PHD degree. I suppose most ppl don’t know who he is. But in the MBA world, heck the world of business, strategy, and well many many other areas. He is THE MAN. One of his books written over 30 years ago has 2 editions printed every year and is used absolutely everywhere from intro to advanced courses. His current work is no less important and well I could go on but essentially, everyone was totally geeked out about him being there hehe.

Anyhow, I’m feeling tired so here are some pics (theres more on fb). And travel pics will be blogged soon but I’ll try to put up London pics on fb today. Cheers!
