Celebrating the 167 PinballMiCRO Graduates of 2025

Last week at George Brown College, we had the privilege of celebrating an extraordinary milestone alongside the 167 graduates of the PinballMiCRO Business Administration Micro-Credential program.

This achievement represents far more than completing a program, it reflects resilience, determination, and the courage to keep moving forward in the face of life’s challenges. Each graduate reached this moment through hard work, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to building a brighter future.

We were especially honoured to have Pinball Foundation co-founders Diane and Michael “Pinball” Clemons join the celebration to share words of encouragement and inspiration with the graduating class. Their message reminded graduates that success is not defined by where you start, but by the strength and persistence you bring to your journey.

Graduates Frede Emnetu and Brianna Nolan delivered one of the ceremony’s most powerful moments, sharing heartfelt reflections that captured the spirit of the entire class:

“When the next door gets too heavy to open, know you don’t have to open it alone.”

Their words served as a reminder of the supportive community built throughout the program—one rooted in connection, empowerment, and lifting each other up.

At Pinball Foundation, we believe education has the power to transform lives, and this graduating class is proof of that impact. We are incredibly proud of every graduate and excited to see the opportunities, leadership, and success that await them in the next chapter of their journey.

Congratulations once again to the PinballMiCRO Graduates of 2025, your future is bright, and this is only the beginning!
