The University of Malta graduation ceremony took place at the Jesuits church in Valletta, Malta. During 2006 and 2007, these eleven students, from ten different countries, wrote dissertations focusing on a diverse range of topics, covering economic diplomacy, human rights issues, conflict resolution and peace-making, virtual diplomacy, and development issues, among others. We would like to congratulate Zenja Basagic, Valeriu Nicolae Ciolan, Naim Dedushaj, Miso Dokmanovic, Olesya Grech, Walton Salas Hamilton, Nevena Ruzic, Poussi Sawadogo, Wassef Serhan, Faten Sharaf, and Amela Sudzuka, and to thank the Diplo faculty members who worked with them.
