Two Valedictorian Speeches were also delivered by Mr. Faisal Al-Malahi, Master in Management, and Ms. Nada AlKhayyat, Executive MBA, during which the two graduates spoke of some of their proudest moments at MBSC, and their hopes for future generations at the college. 

Following the ceremony’s conclusion, Professor Zeger Degraeve, Dean of MBSC, expressed his sincerest wishes to yet another cohort of MBSC students, saying: “First and foremost, I would like to congratulate and commend these 96 students for their tireless efforts throughout their time here at MBSC. They have truly exhibited all the characteristics of future industry leaders, and we could not be prouder.

We will continue to work towards providing Saudi youth with the exceptional entrepreneurial skills and practical knowledge they need to help realize their own potential as key contributors to the Kingdom’s future.”
