Today it was the turn of Swansea University, my Alma Mater, to award degrees to their students. These actually go on all week, but the Deputy Lord Mayor and I attend when we can. Due to the number of other engagements this week, this was the only one I could attend.
The congregation was held in the Great Hall on the Bay campus, which is fortunately air-conditioned given the hot weather we are experiencing. The students were accompanied by their proud families, and the university made a real occasion of the ceremony.
In addition to the students being congratulated by the Chancellor and Pro Chancellor, there were poetry readings and singing, and the students' union led the graduates in thanking their families for all the support they had received during their studies.
