A Round-up of the Kreaverse
|
The stage is set, the moment is near.
Tomorrow, we come together once again — not just to celebrate a ceremony, but to honour a journey. Convocation 2025 isn’t just the culmination of academic pursuit; it’s a testament to Krea University’s enduring mission, year after year, to nurture thinkers, doers, and changemakers who are ready to step into the world with purpose.
From tentative first steps to bold aspirations, this cohort has grown within a community shaped by learning, empathy, and collaboration. And now, as they prepare to cross the threshold, we stand beside them — proud, inspired, and full of hope. See you at The Music Academy, Chennai, on 14 June 2025. Know more about the Convocation here and watch the live stream of the event here.
