The graduation ceremony for the 2026 cohorts of the APE and PPD master's programs took place on October 2 in the Daniel Cohen Auditorium. The event brought together program directors, family and friends, professors and teaching assistants recognized for their dedication to students, as well as alumni.
Kenneth HOUNGBEDJI (PPD 2010/PhD 2015), Researcher at the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement, shared his journey with PPD graduates, reflecting on his experiences before and after joining PSE and on his continued desire to understand how he could make the wolrd a slightly better place. He emphasized the importance of surrounding oneself with the right people and building relationships with those one can trust.
Irene HU (APE 2018/PhD 2023), Environmental economist at the OECD, shared anecdotes illustrating how economics and economist work is viewed in real-world situations. She reflected on what she had gained from her studies: strong quantitative skills ans critical thinking, both of which open many doors. She also reminded graduates that it is perfectly normal to be unsure of their career path after completing a master's degree, reassuring them that, over time, they will find the role that is right for them.
We are proud to welcome you to the PSE Alumni community and look forward to celebrating your future successes and accomplishments!
