Friday<\/strong>, September 12<\/strong> at 5.30 p.m.<\/strong> (CEST) marks Graduation Day<\/strong> \u2014 the most eagerly awaited moment of the year for the Bologna Business School community. It celebrates the success of Master and Executive Master participants and signals the biginning of a new professional phase.<\/p>\n

The ceremony will be held in Piazza Maggiore<\/strong>, in the heart of Bologna<\/strong> \u2014 a historic stage for the city\u2019s most emblematic events and, in recent years, also the setting for BBS Graduation ceremonies.<\/p>\n

On this occasion, the School steps beyond the campus to engage with the city, which in turn welcomes it into its most iconic space. A gesture rich in symbolic meaning, it gives tangible expression to the work carried out throughout the year and underscores the role of business education as a catalyst for social impact. It also reflects the community\u2019s hopes and expectations for the new generation of leaders.<\/p>\n
