ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµGraduation Celebrations in China – Class of 2021

30 Mar 2022

ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµheld the standard in-person graduation ceremonies and events for the Class of 2021 at our main campus in Canberra. Additionally, for students unable to attend the graduation ceremony in China, the ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµChina Centre also provides offline graduation celebrations in Shanghai and Guangzhou in early 2022 to ensure you can feel connected with ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµalumni and the care and attention of the university. The celebrations mark a key milestone and start of a new phase in your life with other students graduating at the same time. With the lift of COVID restrictions, the series of Graduation event will end up with one in Beijing soon. 

The ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµClass of 2021 has now successfully concluded its Shanghai and Guangzhou sessions. Over 250 ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµstudents participated in the two graduation celebrations. Many of the students here have not had the chance to visit the Canberra campus before and they are very grateful to ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµfor arranging various graduation celebrations in China.

Shanghai event date: Saturday, 26 February 2022

Mr David Warner, Deputy Consul General, Australian Consulate General Shanghai, Mr Dane Richmond Trade Commissioner / Consul (Commercial) and Australian Chamber Shanghai CEO Simon Woods  came to celebrate this year's graduates and cut the graduation cake with ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµChina Centre Director Nancy Yu together.

Guangzhou event date: Saturday, 5 March 2022

A special thank you to our honoured guests Mr Michael Sadlier, Consul-General of Australian Consulate-General Guangzhou and our ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµAlumnus Paris Cai for their attendance at the ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµGuangzhou graduation ceremony with the graduating class of 2021 enjoying the opportunity to celebrate this great event.

The graduation ceremony is free of charge and was open to all ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµstudents graduating in 2021. There was a professional graduation photo session, as well as ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµgraduation souvenirs, ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµgraduation gifts, and many more. Of course, delicious food and wine were also a key part of the celebrations along with the chance to socialise and network within our ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµfamily.

The ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµGraduation Celebration was made possible thanks to the generous sponsorship of Auswan and the support of the Australian Chamber of Commerce, a friendly partner of the Australian National University, for the Shanghai Graduation Celebration. We trust that all students graduating from ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµwill have the brightest and promising of futures ahead.
