Graduation Ceremonies

Our graduation ceremonies celebrate the culmination of each student’s academic and professional journey. These moments reflect the diversity, ambition, and global spirit of our community, as graduates join leaders, faculty, and alumni spanning several decades.

Every few years at the Club de l’Étoile in Paris, the wider Franklin Hudson – ISM family gathers in Paris to honor achievement and reconnect as a global community, marking milestones that deepen our shared legacy.
