As we get closer to celebrating another group of Bryan University’s incredible graduates, we want to introduce you to the team behind our virtual commencement ceremonies. The tireless work they do behind the scenes is what brings the celebration to life!
I’m Emily, the Operations Project Manager. I lead a variety of projects, focusing on everything from managing timelines and budgets to coordinating teams and resources. My role involves ensuring that each project runs smoothly and efficiently, with attention to every detail. I would share all the details, but we’d be here for a while — there are just so many moving parts to a project! One project I’m particularly passionate about is Graduation. It’s such a meaningful milestone, and I’m proud to oversee the planning and execution to create a seamless, memorable experience for graduates and their families, celebrating their hard work, achievements, and the incredible journey they’ve taken to get there. I also have the pleasure of working with our wonderful marketing team on the Graduation website, emails, and communications to ensure everything is clear, engaging, and informative. It’s an honor to contribute to such a special moment in our student’s lives, and I look forward to making each celebration truly unforgettable! Congratulations graduates!
