There will be ample opportunity to have your photo taken during the Graduation Celebrations.  We will have your group photo taken on stage in the Aula, as well as an official graduation picture. 

If you haven't already taken it, you can have your I WILL photo taken at the event, and we will also add a photo booth for a more lighthearted touch.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, we will toast on your achievements with a complimentary drink. After this, we will have an open bar where you can buy another drink if you would like.

Guests

You can bring two guests to the Graduation Celebration. We do not currently expect that there will be capacity for more than two guests per graduate in the celebration, but we are searching for alternative possibilities.

You are invited to bring up to two guests with you to the celebration, where you can take your official graduation photographs, and collect your diploma if you didn't already pick it up.
