The Fight for Burnley Graduation
Students at UCLan Burnley want a Graduation Ceremony held in Burnley and not at the Preston Campus. Travel costs, accessibility issues, short notice for the Preston event and concerns over being in a new place, where the unknown can be uncomfortable for some people are just a small number of the barriers Burnley students are facing.
Why is this important?
A number of Burnley businesses support Burnley Students, so not only would only would it be great to have a local ceremony that will bring visitors and income to the town, we also want to celebrate in the place we have been calling "home" for the duration of our studies.
