Two weeks ago, 5. May 2007, I have graduated from my home University, the Business university in Bratislava, at Business management Faculty in Kosice. So from now on we are graduates with a degree in economy and enterprice management.
The graduation ceremony was held on fryday, 8. June 2007 in Kosice. In Slovak language is this ceremony called: "promocia" in transcript: promotion. It all begins with the meeting of the family members at the concert hall. On the centre of the stage are gathering all the scholars. They are welcomed by the dean and asked to take over their diploms one by one. Our faculty produces aproximately 170 graduates yearly.
Another custom is verry common in Slovakia, namely the spraying of graduate student names on the sidewalk in front of the University main entrance.
