Corvinus alumna Petra Hajdu-Pásztor now leads her own startup in the international cruise industry. Her story demonstrates that with the right background and determination, a well-identified market problem can be turned into a successful business. Recently, an international education platform interviewed Petra, where she also spoke about the challenges of building a startup.

At the Annual Alumni Reunion on June 11, Corvinus University will once again recognize its outstanding alumni, following last year’s tradition. With the Alumni of the Year Award, the university honors former students who, alongside achieving excellence in their professional careers and/or making a significant social impact, have also given back to their alma mater community.

Pamela Caceres, who is originally from Mexico, graduated from the Corvinus MBA program in 2019. She chose Corvinus’s program for its strong academic reputation, rigorous business perspective, and practical approach to problem-solving. Looking back, she believes she made the right decision. In her own words, the Corvinus MBA program equipped her with the skills to successfully navigate the European market.

On 19–20 March, we held our mid-year graduation ceremonies in the atrium of Building E, where more than 800 students received their diplomas. From now on, we are proud to welcome them into the university’s alumni community. At the ceremonies, five of our successful alumni also addressed the graduates with celebratory speeches.
