Graduands at the Biochemistry graduation event on Wednesday with Professor Peter Dearden (back row, third from left).

Congratulations to all students graduating this month, especially those who have been part of the Department of Biochemistry while studying for their degree. Tino pai rawa atu!

The Department had an informal graduation event on Wednesday morning for graduands and their friends and families. Large glass panelled doors between the tearoom and the old seminar room (now the George Petersen room) were opened up to provide a large area for everyone to gather in and enjoy each other’s company, as well as nibbles and sparkling wine. Many teaching and academic staff were able to attend and celebrate, dressed in academic regalia.

Head of Department Professor Peter Dearden spoke to those gathered, and presented graduands with flowers from the Department. After photos, the graduands and their families made their way outside to take more photos around campus. Some headed to the more formal graduation ceremony celebrations held that day, and others attended Saturday’s ceremony.
