Graduation usually refers to the formal completion of an educational program, usually at the end of a particular level or program of study. It is a ceremony or event that marks the successful completion of academic requirements, and often involves the conferral of a degree, diploma, or certificate. Graduation ceremonies are commonplace in various educational institutions, such as high schools, colleges and universities. During graduation ceremonies, students are often presented with their academic credentials and may wear academic attire, such as a cap and gown, as a symbol of their accomplishments. Graduation is an important milestone that marks the culmination of a period of learning and a transition to a new phase, be it further education, work, or other life endeavors. OTTIMMO International Culinary and Patisseries Academy on Thursday, November 30, 2023 held the 7th graduation ceremony for class of Bologna for 69 graduates at the Ballroom of The Westin Pakuwon Surabaya.
The theme carried in this graduation activity is “Youth, Success, and Strong Character in Digital Civilization”, that is, we hope that young graduates with high enthusiasm are a reflection of today’s graduates. Success at a young age is not impossible in this digital era. Moreover, with a young spirit and strong perseverance, the opportunities for success will be increasingly wide open. With youthful enthusiasm, strong character, and supported by good digital civilization, success can be achieved earlier. Apart from graduates, the event was attended by parents of students and several invited guests, such as companies that have collaborated with OTTIMMO International.
