WSU CELEBRATES A GREAT GRADUATION

Saturday 12 May marked the end of a week filled with uninhibited laughter, tears of joy and deep sighs of relief as almost 5,000 WSU graduands were capped at the eight graduation ceremonies held in East London, Butterworth and Mthatha during the university’s 7th Annual Graduation Ceremony from 7-12 May.

A highly successful first day of proceedings held at the Abbotsford Christian Centre in East London on Monday May 7 set the tone for the rest of the ceremonies as friends and families came in droves throughout the eight ceremonies to bear witness to the honouring of their friends’ and families’ hard work and dedication in striving to obtain their qualifications.

Monday also marked a momentous occasion for both the institution and world-renowned photojournalist Dr Peter Magubane as a Degree of Doctor of Journalism (Honoris Causa) was conferred upon the great man by WSU for his bravery, self-sacrifice and insatiable appetite for exposing the injustices carried out under the Apartheid government.
