Final Graduation ceremony
REMEMBER US: VC Mazwi-Tanga urged graduates to always keep CPUT in their minds
Monday, 23 April 2012
A week of autumn graduation ceremonies drew to a close on Saturday with the Faculty of Education and Social Sciences.
By that afternoon the university had conferred a total of 6555 qualifications in 12 ceremonies happening morning and evening at the Bellville and Cape Town campuses.
This weekend the loudest applause was reserved for Dean’s medallist Tanja Renate Botbyl.
The young teacher obtained distinctions in 65 of the 73 subjects she studied and is currently working at Bosmansdam High School in Bothasig.
Vice Chancellor Prof Mazwi-Tanga congratulated all graduates and implored them to keep CPUT’s name high as they headed off into the industry.
“Always remember that CPUT is your alma mater. Continue to do us proud,” she says.
Prof Mazwi-Tanga also praised the supporting role that parents and guardians played in getting graduates to that point.
“I express my sincere appreciation to parents, guardians and spouses for assisting you on your educational and life journey during these defining years,” she says.
“Their contribution is celebrated on this day as well. Your success is their success.”
