The Magistrale, EPFL’s traditional Master’s degree graduation ceremony.

The Magistrale, EPFL’s traditional Master’s degree graduation ceremony. It’s been five years in the making: this past Saturday, 1,043 students received their coveted Master's degree from EPFL. The event, held at the STCC, was attended by some 3,000 people, including the students, their families and professors. A number of guests, such as Federal Councillor Guy Parmelin, also took part. Leïla Ojjeh, who is in charge of EPFL Alumni, handed out awards to past students who have had a remarkable career. This year, two women were recognized: Pauline Baumgartner-Harris, who received her degree in chemical engineering in 1997 and is now head of intellectual property at Firmenich, and Deborah Heintze, who graduated with a degree in Life Sciences in 2012 and is now the co-founder and COO of Lunaphore Technologies.
