On June 19th, 2008, 36 MESPOM students became Masters of Science. The formal part of the graduation, a part of CEU commencement ceremony, took place in the Vígszínház, an imposing 19th century theatre building. In the presence of George Soros, Kofi Annan and many other distinguished guests, the students received their certificates. This year’s CEU commencent speaker was Diana Ürge-Vorsatz, a member of the IPCC, the 2007 Noble Peace Price winner and a MESPOM faculty member.

Right from the Vígszínház, MESPOMers and their guests moved to the Attila ship, and continued to celebrate their graduation on the waves of the blue Danube.
