Graduation Alumni Speakers

We're looking forward to welcoming you back to campus as one of our alumni speakers. Graduation is an important part of our calendar as we welcome new graduates to the alumni community. We're delighted that you're able to join us to inspire and cheer them on as many of them take their first steps outside of academic life.

 

Personal details

 

Robe details

 

You will form part of the academic procession that enters the Butterworth Hall after the graduands have arrived and who sit along the stage. As part of this pageantry, you will wear graduation robes.

The best way to measure for your hat size is to use a body measuring tape around your head.

Ceremony details

 

Graduation ceremonies usually last approximately 1hr to 1hr 30mins. You will be formally introduced to the audience to give your speech. 

 

The Say My Name project, led by the Community Values Education Programme (CVEP), promotes respectful interactions around names. When our Master of Ceremonies announces you, we want to make sure we have the correct pronunciation of your name. We would appreciate if you could spell out your name phonetically below (e.g. Dacia = Day-Sha) or record saying your name on Vocaroo | Online voice recorder and pasting a copy below.

Do you have any accessibility requirements? (required)

Graduation lunch and dinner

 

You're invited to attend a lunch with members of the University community on the day of your ceremony. You are also invited to attend a dinner which will be held the week of your ceremony. If you wish to attend, please select the relevant date below that applies.
