Thank you to our EMBA commencement speaker, Shaan Parasnis, EMBA 14, for reminding the class of 2026 that while industries, technologies, and careers may change, the ability to keep learn, unlearn, and reimagine what's possible will always be their greatest asset. #StudentsAlways

In his commencement address, student speaker Matt Balint celebrated the moments that made the EMBA 26 class uniquely them—from thoughtful debate in the classroom to friendships formed during breaks, study sessions, and walks back "home" after class.

Congrats EMBA class of 2026!
