Wake Forest University’s Babcock Graduate School of Management held graduation ceremonies on Friday, Sept. 12, for the MBA Evening Program Class of 2008.
Forty-four students received their diplomas from Business Dean Steve Reinemund at the Old Town Country Club.
The evening program is designed for professionals, managers, small business owners and entrepreneurs with strong job performance who want to advance into mid- and upper-level management.
