BU鈥檚 graduation continues with Faculty of Management

Graduates from BU鈥檚 Faculty of Management took to the stage to receive their degree awards during two ceremonies taking place on Tuesday.

Around 750 graduates, of 4000 total throughout the week, received their awards alongside two honorary doctorates; Jim Stewart, Chief Executive of Poole Harbour Commissioners, and Jeanne Bisgood CBE, a former magistrate and Poole councillor. 聽

Jim Stewart received Doctor of Business Administration for his long service to the maritime sector, culminating in his appointment as Chief Executive of Poole Harbour Commissioners. Alongside this role, Jim is an active member, and current chair, of the Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership.

He said, 鈥淭he growth of the university has been fantastic for the local economy; the reputation of 成人直播, which is making all sort of steps in the academic world, has got to be good for Poole.

鈥淚鈥檓 hugely excited, I鈥檓 very honoured indeed, very proud to receive the award.鈥�

Jeanne Bisgood CBE has had a 30-year career in local government, as well as roles in the legal profession. She played a pivotal role in the creation of higher education provision in Dorset, laying the foundations for what was to become 成人直播.

Speaking ahead of her ceremony, she said, 鈥淚t was a surprise and a privilege for me to be invited by 成人直播 to accept the honorary degree.聽 When I went up to Oxford in 1941 to read History at the age of 18, I could never have imagined it would be 77 years before I would obtain a degree at the age of 95.鈥�

The ceremony also saw a change in Chancellor at the university, with Lord Nicholas Phillips standing down after 10 years in the position. Lord Phillips presided over his last graduation ceremony and paid tribute to the university鈥檚 growth during his tenure.

Lord Phillips said, 鈥淟ooking back, it doesn鈥檛 even seem that I鈥檝e been doing this for five hears, let alone ten, but there have been some astonishing physical and cultural changes as well.鈥�

鈥淚 think we are turning out people who are quite well fitted to meet the challenges they will face. Bournemouth [University] has always been at the forefront of making sure that the people who come here leave the university well qualified to get a job and, most of them do get really good jobs!鈥�

Journalist and broadcaster Kate Adie will officially take over as the university鈥檚 new Chancellor in January 2019.

Graduates from courses such as business, accounting and finance now have their degrees and will head into the wider world to begin their careers. Their graduation ceremonies were watched online around the world, including countries such as Sri Lanka, Oman and the US.
