Graduation Day 2010

On 19th July 2010 we celebrated Graduation day with our undergraduate and postgraduate research students and families.

The graduation ceremony was held in The Octagon with a reception afterward in the John Carr Design Studio at the Portobello Centre.

To make an already memorable day even more special, four of our students were presented with awards from Professor Phillip Wright, Head of Department, for academic excellence and outstanding contribution to departmental life.

Karen Finney (Postgraduate Research Student and now a Postdoctoral Research Associate working with Professor Vida Sharifi) won the Thring prize for academic and personal promise.

David Robbins (MEng Chemical Engineering) won the Sarjant prize for academic and personal promise.

Mahsa Zargary (MEng Chemical Engineering) won the Gerald Underwood prize for her contribution to departmental life.

Duncan Holdsworth (MEng Chemical Engineering) won the Mappin Medal for the greatest distinction shown by a candidate reading for MEng Degree. Duncan has also been awarded with a Salters' Graduate prize 2010 for Chemical Engineering.

Congratulations to all of our 2010 graduates! We wish you every success for the future and hope that you will keep in touch.
