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.
