PhD week 58: Graduation

The graduation procession begins.

Friday was graduation day. Since the earthquakes, Lincoln University has moved their graduation ceremony from in Christchurch city where it was formerly held, to Lincoln township. This move means that graduands muster at the university before their march down the road to the Events Centre; with the result that the University is filled with a vibrancy and an air of celebration at a level that is rarely reached by other occasions. It is enjoyable to walk through the throng and see proud parents and supporters congratulating their person on a job well done. Seeing fellow students graduating is also a great encouragement, particularly when one knows the trials they had to undergo to get there.

To all who graduated yesterday, congratulations!
