Mitrovica, 4 October 2025 – The Public International Business College Mitrovica (IBCM) proudly held its Graduation Ceremony for the Class of 2025, marking a milestone moment of celebration, reflection, and new beginnings for graduates, faculty, families, and the community.

The ceremony opened with the traditional Graduation March and Anthem, led by Master of Ceremonies Ms. Arbnora Nuhi.

In her welcoming address, Prof. Dr. Mihone Kerolli Mustafa, Rector of IBCM, extended her heartfelt congratulations to the graduates. She highlighted the resilience, creativity, and dedication of the graduating class, noting:

“To the Class of 2025: you have walked a road filled with challenges, uncertainty, and hard work. Yet you are here today, stronger, wiser, and ready. The diploma you carry is more than a certificate—it is a responsibility. It carries with it the values of integrity, pluralism, and global citizenship.”

The ceremony continued with a Special Video Presentation featuring messages from IBCM, followed by the Recognition of Excellence, where outstanding students were awarded for their achievements. The outstanding students who were awarded: Adisa Osmani, Adis Osmani, Alban Sinani, Arbnore Nuhi, Elsa Beqiri, Ema Kurshumlija, Eris Mustafa, Esra Kurshumlija, Festim Bunjaku, Mirjana Vlajic.

Student voices took center stage as Ms. Elsa Beqiri, Class of 2025 representative, addressed the guests empathizing:

As graduates, we are now like rays of light. In physics, light travels in waves, bending, reflecting, and refracting — finding new paths even when obstacles appear. Each of us has a unique wavelength, a unique brightness, and a unique direction. Together, we’ve formed a spectrum — diverse, vibrant, and interconnected. Our time at IBCM has been the lens. It has taken raw potential and shaped it into focus, revealing colors and paths we may never have known existed.”

Ms. Adisa Osmani, Master’s representative, also addressed their peers with inspiring reflections on their IBCM journey:

“Studying at IBCM has been truly life-changing, equipping us not only with knowledge, but with confidence, resilience, and the skills to succeed. Beyond academics, IBCM gave us a community—friendships, support, and shared experiences that will last a lifetime. As we graduate, we take with us more than diplomas; we take the determination to build, innovate, and lead with integrity. Congratulations to the Class of 2025”

One of the most anticipated moments was the Conferral of Diplomas, presented to the graduates by Ms. Dea Gaxha, marking the official transition from students to alumni.

The celebration concluded with the traditional hat toss and an official group photo, symbolizing both the joy of achievement and the beginning of new chapters in the lives of the graduates.

The Graduation Ceremony of 2025 not only celebrated the accomplishments of IBCM’s students but also reaffirmed the institution’s commitment to preparing the next generation of leaders, innovators, and global citizens.

Congratulations to the Class of 2025!
