Graduation in Luton

We have just completed a week of graduation ceremonies. In a new development for UoB the undergraduate ceremonies were held in July. And we benefited from some great summer weather.

I was busy with the alumni graduation goody bags. Every graduands receives one as a way of welcoming them to the alumni association.

This year's graduands were treated to Noteworthy, fair trade tea and pens. In another new development for the alumni office we text the student in the morning of their graduation to congratulate them and alert them to the goody bags.

So 1200 students, 100s of photographs, 20 boxes of Celebrations and 5 days later, the year of 2009 is set to take on the world.

And if you were one of them you can still order a copy of your graduation DVD. By contacting alumni@beds.ac.uk you can receive an order form and ultimately a DVD of the 'big day'.

We are always interested to know where graduates go and where they end up, so go to the alumni website and tell us.

If you find yourself missing uni in the coming months then we will soon be running a series of pub evenings in Luton and London. If you are further a field you could always contact your local Intevarsity Club (IVC), an organisation aimed at professionals, graduates and like-minded people.
