This weekend marks a turning point in the lives of the 1 897 Rhodes University graduates. The five graduation ceremonies, held at the 1820 Settlers Monument, began on Thursday and will come to a close on Saturday.

This weekend marks a turning point in the lives of the 1 897 Rhodes University graduates. The five graduation ceremonies, held at the 1820 Settlers Monument, began on Thursday and will come to a close on Saturday.

Rhodes University alumnus and award-winning author of In A Different Time Peter Harris, gave the opening address last night. Other addresses are those of the luminaries being awarded honorary doctorates.

The selection of recipients this year consists of four remarkably diverse individuals, two of  which are prominent figures in the global art and music industries.

They are: Abdullah Ibrahim, prolific jazz  producer and pioneering musician; Marlene Dumas, award-winning artist; Justice Kathleen Satchwell, Johannesburg High Court Judge and Dr Gordon Cragg, scientist and cancer treatment researcher.

At each of the faculty-specific ceremonies, the luminaries will address the graduates, inspiring them by sharing the
lessons they have learned from their colourful lives.

Today, students from the Humanities Faculty will be administered a double-dose of advice imparted by Ibrahim and Dumas.

In this evening’s ceremony, graduates of the Law, Education and Pharmacy faculties will be addressed by Satchwell and Dr Cragg will address the Science faculty graduates in the final ceremony on Saturday morning.

The recipients all share multiple prestigious international awards, international recognition for the innovative contributions they have made in their respective fields and a spirit of philanthropy.

Excellence, innovation and internationalism a formidable combination in today’s competitive world have been called upon to scale new heights in their respective professions.
