When an earthquake hit Nepal in late April, it affected many Nepalese students from Wittenborg University who feared for the lives of their families back home.

One of those students is Santosh Karki who graduated with a Bachelor degree in International Business Administration (IBA) last Friday during Wittenborg’s Summer Graduation Ceremony. 

Karki’s tutor, Dr Saskia Harkema, praised him for his dedication to his studies. “He knocked our socks off with the presentation of his dissertation,” Harkema told the audience on Friday.

Karki said in an interview he plans to do a Master of Science degree at Wittenborg next year.
