Global Executive MBA Graduation 2015

The WU Executive Academy and the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management held a ceremony to mark the 15th anniversary of the Global Executive MBA and the graduation of the 2014-2015 Global Executive MBA class. This very special event was attended not only by the graduates and their families but also by the students of the 2015-2016 Global Executive MBA class and another 120 guests of honor.

Following words of welcome from the program's academic directors, Prof. Bodo B. Schlegelmilch and Prof. Mike Houston, the rector of WU Vienna, Prof. Christoph Badelt, and the Carlson School of Management's dean, Prof. Sri Zaheer, took the opportunity to offer their congratulations on the 15th anniversary of the Global Executive MBA. The undoubted highlight of the afternoon was a rousing guest speech by Hikmet Ersek. The CEO of Western Union allowed the newly minted MBAs personal insights into his unique international career and pointed out what modern-day management is really about.
