Plan a new Graduation ceremony for YSJ 2020 graduates
Plan a new 2020 graduation ceremony for Summer 2021, at the Minster as tradition, incorporating social distancing measures.
Why is this important?
The decision to completely cancel the 2020 graduation ceremony is not just disappointing, but heartbreaking for all of the students who have worked tirelessly to complete their degrees in the face of the incredibly difficult times 2020 has presented. Give us the ceremony we deserve, in the summer. This may involve adapting celebrations to take place predominantly outside, or restricting the number of guests, but cancelling the ceremony all together should not be an option.
