During the closing ceremony, E-Campus University Dean Prof. Enzo Visiero submitted his presentation entitled 'Building Bridges - Connecting Hearts.' Prof. Viserio concluded: “As we have built the bridge, so now we have to cross it.”

The presentation was followed by the distribution of certificates.
