Spring Graduation 2013
HARD WORK: PhD graduates Olushola Ayanda, Georina Westraadt , Alettia Chisin and Mark Boekstein participated in the university’s inaugural Doctoral Candidates Public Lecture Series, held on the Bellville Campus
Friday, 20 September 2013
Years of hard work and dedication to their studies have paid off for the class of 2013 who will receive their qualifications at CPUT’s Spring Graduation today.
During the ceremony, which will take place on the Cape Town campus, the university will award qualifications to 695 students, of which 36 will receive Masters, and 11 will receive Doctorates.
As a precursor to this year’s ceremony, the university hosted a Doctoral Candidates Public Lecture Series earlier this week on the Bellville Campus.
An initiative of the Centre for Postgraduate Studies, the series saw PhD graduates Olushola Ayanda, Georina Westraadt, Alettia Chisin and Mark Boekstein deliver short presentations on their research.
This event will become a permanent feature on the CPUT calendar and will form part of the university’s graduation celebrations, which takes place annually in April and in September.
These PhD graduates together with their counterparts will be capped by CPUT Chancellor, Dr Trevor Manuel, who will preside over the ceremony.
