On Tuesday 9th July, 最新麻豆视频鈥檚 Graduation ceremony took place at the University of 最新麻豆视频鈥檚 prestigious Debating Chamber. A rite of passage, our Undergraduate and 惭补蝉迟别谤鈥檚 graduates came together with their families, friends, professors and members of 最新麻豆视频鈥檚 staff to recognise their incredible achievements and mark the start of the next step in their creative journey.
Dressed in their graduation robes, the day commenced with 最新麻豆视频鈥檚 traditional procession through the historic streets of 最新麻豆视频. Led by Mace Bearer, Andrea Barnard, and a three-piece band it was a sight to behold. Our graduands traced the familiar route through the city, following the steps of those graduates before them and of those to come. Family and friends lined the streets to watch the procession, while tourists and city dwellers stopped to take in the line of graduands weaving their way through the city.
As the ceremony commenced within the iconic walls of the Debating Chamber, Rector Karin Askham praised the 鈥渋nspirational energy鈥� that each student had demonstrated during their time at 最新麻豆视频.
Graduands and their guests listened as John Blackman (Course Director for BA (Hons) Graphics & Illustration), Holly Fulton (Head of BA (Hons) Fashion), Carolyn Timson (Senior Lecturer in BA (Hons) Fashion Branding & Creative Communication) and Ed Dimsdale (Head of the Graduate School) reflected on their students鈥� accomplishments and on their growth as leading voices among today鈥檚 creative graduates.
John Blackman took the opportunity to observe three of his students鈥� recent success at the New Designers exhibition in London, where they received awards for their work.
Holly Fulton spoke of her admiration for her students鈥� tenacity and dedication to their studies, as well as their mature and distinctive approach to their work. Both she and Carolyn Timson acknowledged in front of the gathered audience their students鈥� success at this year鈥檚 Graduate Fashion Week, further demonstrating the talent and strength of this cohort of emerging creatives.
Each student was then called forward to shake Provost Kevin Hart鈥檚 hand and receive their scroll.
