More than 1000 students will don their robes at the Regent on Broadway next week as Massey University’s graduation celebrations arrive in Manawatū.
The first ceremony begins on Monday afternoon, with ceremonies occurring twice daily until the final ceremony on Wednesday afternoon. There will also be events to celebrate Māori and Pasifika graduates on Thursday.
A total of 1083 students will graduate, including 34 with doctorates and 142 receiving master’s degrees. Graduation celebrations were held in Auckland last month and will take place in Wellington later this month.
Look out for Massey staff who will be on hand to take photos for social media before and after each ceremony. It is a great chance to get some more casual photos with family and friends. These photos will be posted on Facebook, for students to share, like and comment on. We encourage Massey staff to engage with this content. It can be a great outlet for congratulating students, wishing them well for their next stage in life and inspiring future students.
Twitter and Instagram users attending graduation day, whether in academic robes, family, friends or staff, are encouraged to share highlights using the hashtag #MasseyGrad.
You can watch a live stream of each ceremony here.
