尊敬的伍淑清女士和郭志权博士、尊敬的各位来宾、学院的教师职员、亲爱的朋友们、学生的家人们，尤其是清华经管学院2011届国际MBA项目的毕业生们：

首先我要祝贺你们圆满的完成了2011届麻省理工学院-清华大学国际MBA项目的学习，同时我也要对你们的家人表示衷心的祝贺。

这一届的国际MBA项目是具有纪念意义的。在总共101名2011年毕业的国际MBA项目学生中，有50名来自国外及中国香港、台湾地区。与此同时，2011届国际MBA学生毕业之年恰逢“三重纪念”：清华百年校庆、清华经管学院MBA项目举办20周年，、以及清华MBA项目与麻省理工学院（MIT）斯隆管理学院合作15周年。

而更为重要的是，本届毕业生是学院在新版清华MBA课程改革实施后的第一届毕业的学生，这使得你们有机会学习到许多新增的MBA课程。作为中国第一家进行MBA课程改革的商学院，我们开设了软技能课程，引入体验式学习和整合性学习的方法，探索之道路并不轻松。而你们作为课程改革后的第一届毕业生，为我们学院提供了很多建设性的意见。例如，学院怎样能更好的把学生们培养成未来的领袖，怎样让学生们更深入的了解中国的商业实践和商业环境，以及怎样指导学生们培养更多种类的软技能。现在值此你们毕业之际，我想感谢你们一直以来的理解，包容和支持，以及在国际MBA项目和学院的发展中，你们所做的努力。作为新版清华MBA课程的第一届毕业生，你们的参与和支持非常重要，我们不会忘记你们的付出和贡献。

从今天起，你们不再是清华MBA学生了，而成为了清华MBA校友。你们永远都将是麻省理工学院-清华国际MBA项目的一员，也是清华的一员。在此我再一次祝贺每一位清华2011届国际MBA项目的毕业生们，祝愿你们前程似锦。

谢谢。

Honorable Ms. Annie Wu and Dr. Philip Kwok, distinguished guests, faculty and staff, dear friends, proud families, and most of all, the Tsinghua SEM International MBA Graduates, Class of 2011,

Congratulations to the students in the MIT-Tsinghua International MBA Program, Class of 2011 on completing your studies.  Also, congratulations to your family members.

You are part of a commemorative class of 101 students and among you, 50 are the international, Hong Kong andTaiwanstudents.  You graduated in the year of “triple happiness”: 100 years ofTsinghuaUniversity, 20 years of MBA education inChinaand at Tsinghua, and 15 years of collaboration between MIT Sloan and Tsinghua SEM.

But perhaps the most significant of all is the fact that you are the first class of MBA students at Tsinghua to experience our new MBA curriculum.  You have taken several courses not taken by your fellow students before.  Being the first inChina’s business schools to launch such a reform, such as more soft skill courses, more experiential learning, and more integrative learning, is not easy.  Being the first cohort, you have made critical and yet constructive suggestions on how the school can better train you to become future leaders, how to provide you with deeper understanding ofChinabusiness practice and business environment, and how to equip you with variety of soft skills.  Now you are graduating, and I want to thank you for your understanding, tolerance, appreciation, and your effort to make our program and our school a better one, especially your participation and support as the first class in the new Tsinghua MBA curriculum.  We will not forget your contributions.

From today onward, you are no longer Tsinghua students, and instead, you become Tsinghua alumni.  You will always be part of MIT-Tsinghua IMBA’s community and part of Tsinghua.

Congratulations again to each of the Class of 2011 International MBA Program graduates.  I wish you every success.

Thank you.
