On Saturday we celebrated Otago's first uneventful, in-person, graduation ceremony since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Department, sponsored by Lab Supply, hosted a social function for Biochemistry graduands and their families.
Covid is still with us however, and prevented several graduands from attending both the Biochemistry reception, and (far more importantly) the graduation ceremony itself.
Head of Department Professor Sally McCormick addressed the gathering, congratulating the graduands on their achievements and encouraging them to keep in touch with the Department. She and Associate Professor Liz Ledgerwood (Director of the Biomedical Sciences Programme) then presented each graduand with flowers and "goody bags" as mementoes of their time with us.
