KMA CONVOCATION 2024 - Congratulations to the Graduates!

Ukraine’s Constitution Day was designated in the 1990-s as the official Convocation Day at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.  We are happy to report that the 2024 Convocation took place pm June 28 in several locations at the campus because of concern for security and the large number of graduates and their families who came to celebrate.  We bring you a few of the highlights.  There were 1200 graduates this year, even though the war in Ukraine forced many students to study abroad and they were not able to attend.  We are proud of the 822 students who received their bachelor’s degrees, the 353 who go into the world with a master’s degree.  They include 166 from the IT Department, 228 from the Humanities Department, 178 from the Law School, 212 from Social Sciences, and 254 from the Economics Department.

A convocation is a special event, and the Kyiv-Mohyla Community is proud of the courage of its graduates who managed to finish their degrees through this challenging journey, including the pandemic and the full-scale invasion.
