A Ceremony in Honour of the Graduates of the Class of 2022

On April 8, ESC Clermont Business School organised its graduation ceremony for the class of 2022 at the Palais des Congrès – Opéra de Vichy. More than 510 students, accompanied by their relatives, were honoured during this event which hosted 2000 people.

A Look Back at the Day’s Highlights

To officially launch the graduation ceremony, Richard Soparnot, Director General of the School, gave a solemn opening speech before handing over to his predecessor, Françoise Roudier. Student, graduate, professor and then General Director of the School from 2013 to 2022, Françoise Roudier gave an inspiring and emotional speech.

To succeed for yourself, to succeed for those who love you, to hear those who love you say that they are proud of your success. The success you dream of, not the success that is imposed on you. The success that will make you happy, not the one that will give you regrets. And now if you aim high to go far?

Commitment, perseverance, solidarity, and passion… Through these words, Françoise Roudier retraced her career path and gave valuable advice to young graduates. An inspiring speech that will remain engraved in everyone’s mind…

Special mention to the major of the programme, Sanjana Agrawal who is currently completing her studies at Harvard University.

At the end of the ceremony, the Foundation’s prizes were presented by its President, Jean-Paul Chiochetti, and its Director, Robin Jund, to two laureates, Oriane Durand and Estelle Jouve.

Following tradition, graduates of the classes of 52 and 62 passed the torch to those of 2022 and a formal hat-tossing ceremony set the final note of the evening, a final congratulations to all graduates.

A Musical Ceremony

This day would not have been the same without the presence of our student musicians!
