Ceremonies held at Bute Hall to mark students' achievements.
Scotland's Rural College (SRUC) is celebrating a return to in-person graduations, after two years of virtual ceremonies.
Almost 300 students attended the college's first in-person graduation on Sunday 28 August at the University of Glasgow's Bute Hall.
Principal and chief executive of SRUC, Professor Wayne Powell, shared his joy at the return to in-person ceremonies: “We are delighted to be returning to in-person graduations for the first time in three years.
“The last couple of years have been extremely tough on everybody, with the Covid pandemic having an impact on every aspect of daily life. This makes our students’ achievements particularly impressive.”
One happy graduate from the day, Sian Whitton, was one of the first cohort of BSc (Hons) Veterinary Nursing students to graduate from SRUC.
Sian, who graduated with a First-Class Honours degree, was awarded the SRUC Trust Prize for the best fourth year student in Veterinary Nursing.
Commenting on her achievement, Sian said: “I had previously studied at university and achieved a BSc Honours degree.
“This wasn't a course I enjoyed but I thought at the end it would get me a job I would enjoy - it did not. After some soul searching, I decided to give Vet Nursing a go, and it was the best decision I ever made.”
