Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Helen Bartlett said the ceremony was a chance for the students to reflect on their academic journey and enjoy the rewards for their commitment to gaining news skills and knowledge that would provide the foundations for their careers.
“USC is incredibly proud of the achievements of our graduating students, who have had to show additional resilience and determination dealing with the challenges and disruptions presented by the COVID pandemic over the past 18 months,” Professor Bartlett said.
“For their friends and family, lecturers and tutors and the wider Fraser Coast community, it is a wonderful opportunity to share in their success.
