May 31, Saturday – To mark the 20 incredible years of GMBA, the community showed up glammed and dressed in style for the GMBA Unity Ball, held at the Regent Taipei Hotel (台北晶華酒店), organized by the R13 Student Council. The event brought together a vibrant mix of guests, including alumni, sponsors, professors, current R12 and R13 students, as well as incoming R14 students. Upon arrival, attendees were welcomed with refreshing drinks and a selection of pastries. As they entered the ballroom, a red-carpet experience awaited them, complete with photo booths that captured the excitement and sparkle of the evening.

The event began with a warm welcome and opening remarks from Dean Shing-Yang Hu, Dean of the College of Management. GMBA Director Bryan Jean then took the stage to deliver his remarks and led the ceremonial cake cutting and toast, officially marking the 20 years of GMBA. Throughout the night, a series of heartfelt videos were presented—including alumni messages, a collection of GMBA memories, and a special tribute to professors.

As a gesture of gratitude, each professor was given a bouquet of flowers in appreciation of their hard work and unwavering support. The program also honored the generous contributions of sponsors and partners. Additionally, certifications of appreciation were also awarded to previous R12 Student Council members for organizing last year’s activities. The event concluded with an exciting raffle draw, featuring prizes contributed by alumni, guests, and current students. The program also highlighted the special edition commemorative 20th souvenir, proudly designed and won by our very own R13 student, Violetta.

The Unity Ball was a stylish evening of fun and connection— a chance to mingle and build new friendships and networks. It was a night filled with laughter, elegant moments, and the shared spirit of celebration that reminded everyone what it means to be part of the GMBA family.
