Spring Awards Season

On Friday, 8th March, students, staff and guests gathered for the March 2018 intake Completion Ceremony at the Yale Club New York. The guest of honor, Duncan Karcher (Director of Operations at Starr International) gave an inspiring address to the assembly challenging us to leave our comfort zone, special awards were announced by John Raffaeli (Vice Chairman of Board of Trustees) and Matthew Thompson was elected by his peers to give the valedictory.

To view the album of photographs of the Ceremony taken by our event photographer James Higgins, go to Mountbatten Connect.

This month's newsletter also features a Social Entrepreneur and a Rising Star nomination.

One idea is building fintech tools to open financial services to those homeless who are typically locked out of traditional banking. Another is using innovative tech to dramatically reduce the cost of home-building to help solve the crisis."
