December 2010

It is a testament to the phenomenal growth of the St. Augustine Campus that the 2010 Graduation exercises had to be conducted over three days, with two separate ceremonies on each occasion. With 3,600 graduates emerging from the university this year –a figure we believe will continue to grow – we know the workforce will soon begin to reflect the increase in graduate level professionals with more skills available.

We believe that our students get a sound tertiary level education at this institution, and we believe that the development of the mind brings a beauty that cannot be cosmetically applied.

This issue reflects on the graduation ceremonies just past, featuring the honorary graduates, the valedictorians and some of our historic graduation moments. On our cover are some of this year’s graduates, who were so radiant, they exemplify our assertion that knowledge is beauty.
