Faculty of Media & Communication graduate, Philip Small, wore the tailor-made suit he won in the prize draw after sharing听his feedback on his student experiences in the 2015-16听National Student Survey, while听the only group of UK students who got through to the semi-finals of a global Google marketing challenge were reunited at their ceremony.

Faculty of Management graduate, Danielle Foster, walked across the听stage to collect her masters' degree having overcome adversity and undergone spinal fusion surgery while completing her course, commenting: 鈥淚 was 5 foot 4 inches when I completed my undergraduate degree and I鈥檓 5 foot 8 inches standing here today, so I鈥檝e grown four inches! I have walked across taller and straighter this time."

Sir Tim Smit said: 鈥淥f all the places I鈥檇 like to be today, I think here is amongst the best. Outside this wonderful building with these wonderful people are beautiful waves and sunshine with beautiful young people about to set out on their path to make their new career and actually they have every reason to feel excited about it and I always feel uplifted when I鈥檓 amongst young people.鈥�

鈥淭here鈥檚 nothing more optimistic than seeing young people with a lot of optimism and hope going into the world and they are going to change it, so that鈥檚 good.鈥�

Vice-Chancellor Professor John Vinney said: 鈥淎 big congratulations to all of our graduating students. I鈥檓 so proud of all of their achievements and it鈥檚 a fantastic day, both of celebration, and to reflect on their time at 成人直播.鈥� 听
