Graduation 2020 - 2 year Hult EMBA - An experience I wouldn’t want to miss!

Looking back at 2 years of weekend classes, balancing work and study, long hours in the office and even longer hours on campus finishing group projects – I CAN SAY IT WAS ALL WORTH IT 100%! 

Hult EMBA is about experiences, growth mindset, getting out of your comfort zone, personal and professional transformation, but above all it is about PEOPLE: friendship, networking, teamwork and learning from each other (in class, at dinners, during breaks in our favorite coffee shop ‘This is It’, on zoom and teams…).

Hult is more than an educational institution, it is a lifestyle, a feeling that you have being part of it (as an employee or student) – As Marina Keegan pointed out, ‘we don’t have a word for the opposite of loneliness’, but if we did, I could say it is HULT.

I hope you all can reflect on something similar in your own lives - if not, look for it, challenge yourself and get out of your comfort zone!

There are so many aspects of the program that I love: the innovative curriculum, class diversity, schedule flexibility, state-of-the-art campus, but what truly stands out for me are Hult professors. Professors who are creating opportunities that invite everyone to participate, who inspire, who changed my life, my perspective, who sparked my passion for business psychology, who introduced me to the science of well-being and showed me the way how to become a happier and more resilient person in this crazy and increasingly unpredictable world. Forever thankful: Dr. Amanda Nimon-Peters, Ali Fenwick, Ph.D., Prof. Mukul Kumar, Mark Esposito, Ph.D, Yusaf Akbar, DPhil, Prof. Jean Vanhoegaerden, Terence (謝慈銘) Tse, PhD, Prof. Mufeed Rawashdeh, Prof. Aleksander Grzeszczak.

I also like to thank my Hult Business Challenge team (Noura, Abdulla, Orhan, Ahmed, Bassem) and Professor Ali Fenwick for your time, guidance, mentorship, hard work, patience, passion and friendship! This was the perfect combination resulting in a winning project for Givenchy. #Friendsforlife

I am thankful for so many people in my life who made it possible for me to pursue my EMBA by supporting me along the way – Stephen Hodges, Melissa Fredette, Jessica Szubart, my family & friends, my amazing Hult teams, and the Dubai Campus team!

If I can express a wish for the future, it would be the following: I wish to continue working with such great colleagues and friends. I want to continue learning from you while passing my knowledge and experience to others. I want to continue accepting challenges and achieving great results together with you. And I want to see Hult to continue its path of success #nothingisimpossible. 

Special thanks to my talented friend Venus for my graduation pictures & Nidhika for pushing me to graduate with distinction!
