21.01.15 Graduation Day | University of Lincoln Year of Liberty

On a wintry Wednesday there were plenty of warm-hearted wishes from Lincoln School of Film & Media, family and friends to today’s graduates. Congratulations from us all at the University of Lincoln to our latest alumni!  Be proud.

2014grads-unfocused_RWGraduation Day marked the start of the University of Lincoln’s Year of Liberty.  Vice Chancellor Professor Mary Stuart said: This year is an important landmark for the University, the Cathedral, the county and the city of Lincoln, as we mark the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta – the cornerstone of our democracy. In commemoration, the University is making 2015 its Year of Liberty, and I can’t think of a better way to begin than celebrating the success of our graduates.

LSM Graduation – Class of 2013

Congratulations to Lincoln School of Media 2013 graduates. It’s a fabulous feeling! Well done on all your achievements. Keep us posted on what you’re up to – we’d love you to hear from you. These images were captured on a glorious sunny day at Lincoln Cathedral by LSM’s Senior Lecturer Neil Kendall.

Graduation Day

Cathedral interiorThe 23rd of January was the first graduation day of 2013 for the University of Lincoln.  As part of the LSM’s alumni team, I find it‘s a great opportunity to capture the event.  Although I have to admit that I have never attended the January ceremonies at Lincoln Cathedral, until now.  Today I was fortunate to see graduation from a different perspective – as a postgraduate student.  So, as I warm up now with a glass of mulled wine and raise it to all alumni, I thought I’d post a couple of photos taken by my nearest and dearest.

Cheers!

Taking centre stage was actor John Hurt CBE who received an Honorary Doctorate of Arts.  Perhaps you can spot the Head of the LSM Sarah Barrow, and how about anyone else pictured?
