Celebrating graduates
The event was punctuated by several highlights: speeches, video sequences and musical interludes offered by the Centrale x emlyon Orchestra.
Pascal Ray, Director of Centrale Lyon, and class sponsor Henry Gazay opened the ceremony highlighting the students' efforts and success, while encouraging them from now on to oser, create and commit to a sustainable future.
Called individually, the students received their diplomas on stage from the hands of their training managers. A key moment that marks the end of their student journey and the passage to professional life.

Your academic background allows you to be who you want to be. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, don't limit yourself, believe in yourself, only your determination will build you!

Remembering the Centralian years
Several speeches enabled the graduates to look back with emotion on their Centralian years, punctuated by courses, associative life, encounters and their commitments. It was an opportunity to share vivid memories and the challenges overcome, echoes of the road traveled and the bonds forged over the years.
I've followed your extraordinary projects: humanitarian missions, swimming across the English Channel, international double degrees, start-up creation, artistic and musical projects, sports performances, civic services, military training... and you've impressed me! [...] Everyone here is unique and has something special to contribute to society.

Through the various speeches, the graduates were invited to become aware of the impact of their decisions and future actions.
By becoming an engineer, we have the opportunity and even the duty to transform our society by putting our skills at the service of a more sustainable world. I encourage us to be authentic and actively involved.
