Jul 09-2019   

In her valedictorian speech on June 29, Ms. Dong Xiaofei started with the stories of the journalist Oriana Fallaci and the Chinese scientists behind the Dong Feng II missiles.

“No matter which age it is, success is inseparable from copious preparations and practices, as well as a tenacity to surmount whatever challenges and setbacks there may be. Studying at NSD equips us with just that for the growth of our lives,” she said.

Ms. Dong was among the 110 MBA graduates at the commencement of BiMBA Business School, proudly the best in China. Befitting her career in venture capital, she put BiMBA to the ROI test.

“As an investment, the ROI of BiMBA at NSD far exceeds my expectations.” She had some other figures to back it up: learning with 30 professors; getting to know over 100 classmates; and countless papers and team projects to go with an impressive number of activities, all in two years.

Besides knowledge, skills and friendship, she spoke of her connection to BiMBA’s unique values of love and duty for the nation. A magnet for internationally minded young professionals, BiMBA offers top MBA programs with Vlerick Business School and the School of Management of UCL.
