Wonderful graduation season!
The conclusion of the spring semester marks the joyful graduation season at the Sahlgrenska Academy. Here, we take a look at some of the solemn occasions for our former students.
They are now transitioning from being students to becoming colleagues, within professions where there is a great demand for their skills. However, a university degree is just the beginning of the lifelong learning required for the jobs they are now eligible to perform. A warm message from many teachers during the graduation ceremonies was that the former students are always warmly welcomed back to the university to continue their personal development within their expertise area.
First up was the graduation of the 42 newly graduated biomedical analysts, whose ceremony was held at the Wallenberg Conference Center. The students were accompanied by their loved ones. In addition to several speeches, the celebration also included a quiz and a slideshow from their time as students. Now, summer jobs await in various laboratory medical activities or in clinical physiology.
Several programs conducted their graduation ceremonies in the university's beautiful auditorium in Vasaparken. 112 new doctors were examined in pomp and circumstance, with excellent performances by talented students and a series of engaging speeches.
65 new pharmacists were also celebrated with warm congratulations. Teacher and chief pharmacist Sara Sjöberg urged all graduates to seize the opportunities provided by the broad and deep education they have received:
"Be proud of what you know and humble in your willingness to learn more!"
