There’s a distinct energy in the air when months and years of relentless dedication, late-night study sessions, and personal growth culminate in a single, unforgettable moment. On September 14, 2025, NEXT Campus Sri Lanka hosted its annual Graduation Ceremony, marking a historic milestone for our latest cohort of graduates as they stepped confidently into the next chapter of their professional journeys.
The atmosphere was nothing short of inspiring. Smiles, proud families, and the collective sense of triumph filled the hall, making this year’s ceremony a vibrant celebration of academic excellence and personal evolution.
Keynote Insights from Global Academic Leaders
A major highlight of the day was the presence of distinguished global academic figures who shared powerful words of wisdom with the graduating class.
We were deeply honoured to welcome Professor Sean Flynn, Dean of the Guildhall School of Business and Law and the School of the Built Environment at London Metropolitan University, as a keynote speaker. Professor Flynn’s address reflected on the transformational power of education and the critical role our graduates will play in shaping the future of global commerce, innovation, and leadership.
Adding to the prestige of the event, Ms. Subi Darbhanga, Director of Admissions & Enrolment at London Metropolitan University, also addressed the assembly. Her words resonated strongly with the audience, reinforcing the value of international academic partnerships and celebrating the determination shown by the Class of 2025 throughout their academic journey.
Expressing Gratitude: The Vote of Thanks
No successful milestone is achieved alone. Behind every graduate stands a network of dedicated lecturers, supportive staff, mentors, and loved ones who provided unwavering support along the way.
To formally acknowledge these extraordinary contributions, a heartfelt Vote of Thanks was delivered by Mr. Jayamal Jayaweera, Chair of the Academic Board at NEXT Campus Sri Lanka. Mr. Jayaweera recognized the tireless efforts of the faculty, staff, and organizing teams who worked behind the scenes to make the 2024–2025 Graduation Ceremony an overwhelming success.
