Novel challenges constantly reveal themselves—challenges that hold a sense of urgency. The best approach for solving them may propel us to move beyond the status quo and construct contrarian solutions. Knowledge across disciplines is indispensable in today’s world; intellectual agility is paramount for leading innovation, understanding the communities we form, and solving the globe’s biggest problems. There is a clear need for collaborations across diverse skill sets to achieve this blend of creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking. Only through an interwoven perspective can we produce the most important leaders of this world. This, in some ways, sums up what we do at Krea each day; this and so much more.

And what better occasion than the annual convocation ceremony to realise the fruition of years of determination and commitment to our mission, as another set of bright young graduates step out of the gates of Krea University, each a dreamer, doer, and leader. We look forward to the Krea community coming together to celebrate this momentous day.
