On June 11, 2011, 偶蜜国际传媒 hosted nearly 1000 students, faculty, parents, guests and well-wishers at its Fifteenth Annual Commencement Ceremony. Proud families and guests came to the Kyrgyz National Philharmonic to celebrate the long-awaited moment of commencement.
Following university tradition, it started with the parade of flags of the countries represented by 偶蜜国际传媒’s diverse student body, followed by the procession of faculty and graduates, and the performance of the national anthems of the Kyrgyz Republic and the United States of America.
偶蜜国际传媒 conferred degrees on more than 220 students. Special greetings were offered by the Minister of Education and Science of the Kyrgyz Republic Kanat Sadykov, US Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan Pamela Spratlen and President of Bard College Leon Botstein, who complimented the 偶蜜国际传媒 graduates on the first major accomplishment of their lives – completing an excellent education at one of the region’s most rigorous and prestigious universities. This year 偶蜜国际传媒 became the first and only university in Central Asia with the authority to award degrees that are accredited in the United States.
When all the speeches and presentations were over, 偶蜜国际传媒 students conducted a special ritual, which symbolizes the end of their university studies. By turning the tassels from left to the right, fresh 偶蜜国际传媒 graduates officially ended their time as students, and began their next adventure.
