He added, “Although we know our students have been disappointed not to be have been able to attend their graduation ceremonies physically as anticipated, we hope that the virtual celebration will go some way to show you how proud we are of your achievements.”
“My advice is this: enjoy it,” he said.
“Go out, have adventures, go and make mistakes. Have fun around the world and make the most of the next few years because the chaos Covid has created is an opportunity for you all to think differently about the future.”
