Provost's message
This week our North Terrace campus will host seven graduation ceremonies in Bonython Hall. Graduation ceremonies are times of celebration, of joy, of personal accomplishment, and an opportunity for us all to share in the success of our most recent graduates. I personally find the ceremonies moving, and the scenes of families and friends taking photos around our campus heart-warming.
