The wet and windy weather might not have been perfect for the occasion, but the mood was bright and optimistic for our Class of 2016 students as they celebrated graduation day in Liverpool.
Friends and family gathered to honour the Journalism and International Journalism graduates on their special day at a ceremony watched by hundreds inside the Anglican Cathedral.
After the traditional congratulations up on stage, the party moved on to LJMU’s Redmonds Building as glasses were raised to toast the departing year and prizes were awarded to those who had excelled.
Course Programme Leader Jackie Newton said: “It’s fantastic to see such a group of talented and lovely people going out into the world of work, and we feel privileged to have had a part in their education. We wish them all the very best for the future.”
