A Round-up of the Kreaverse
|
Time flies, and with it comes a wave of fresh energy as we welcome a new batch to the IFMR Graduate School of Business (GSB), Krea University. This past week has been brimming with fresh starts and lofty aspirations as students embark on their journeys in the 2 year MBA and 5 year Integrated BBA+MBA programmes.
The vibrant spirit of the Kreaverse is in full swing as new students dive into an array of exciting and enriching events. Simultaneously, we eagerly anticipate the arrival of the incoming cohort at the School of Interwoven Arts and Sciences (SIAS). The campus is abuzz with positivity, with returning students resuming classes and new students starting to script their own stories.
It's both refreshing and heartwarming to see students, from both schools, sharing their internship and placement experiences on social media. Guided by their mentors, many have ventured far and showcased their capabilities through impressive work. Here's to more such inspiring stories ahead.
