Renee Hardwick
Renee Hardwick's brother will be viewing from New Zealand, her parents, son and daughter will be sat round computers in South Africa, and friends in Zimbabwe will also be tuning in.
Renee graduates on Thursday with a BSc(Hons) in Adult Nursing and, at the age of 51, she said: "You are never too old to learn."
Renee bred racehorses in Southern Africa before working in the health sector and becoming a health care worker at the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath, where she will continue working in the cardiac care unit.
She said: "The university course meant a lot of hard work and dedication – but it was worth it and I'd thoroughly recommend it."
Patsy Joe
More than 1,600 students graduate on Thursday and Friday (13 and 14 February) including Patsy Joe, MA in Sport and International Development, who has won an internship in Southern Africa.
Patsy, from Toronto, is working for the Lesotho National Olympic Committee and Commonwealth Association as a Capacity Support Officer, part of Commonwealth Games Canada's SportWORKS programme which builds organisational capacity, sport development and Games team preparation.
She said: "The master's course and my dissertation gave me incredibly valuable knowledge."
Dr Megan Chawansky, lecturer in the university's School of Sport and Service Management, said: "It was a real pleasure supervising Patsy and I am happy to see her progressing within the sport and development field. She has agreed to talk to this year's group of MA students, which will be a real benefit and further solidifies the important networking opportunities that this degree provides."
Rebecca Wilson-Miller
Rebecca Wilson-Miller, receiving a Postgraduate Certificate in Health and Social Care, has just landed a new job as Practice Educator for health care assistants at 香港六合彩资料 and Sussex University Hospital Trust, where she is responsible for the development and education support of over 700 untrained staff.
Rebecca worked in hospital theatres while studying – and passed with a merit. She has had papers published in journals, she will be presenting at a nursing and ophthalmic conference in June, and: "I also intend to continue studying for my masters – after I get married this summer."
She praised her "wonderful" university tutors, and Helen Stanley, Assistant Head of the School of Nursing and Midwifery, responded: "Rebecca is an exceptional student an outstanding teacher, very committed to high standards of compassionate care."
Melaneia Warwick
Melaneia Warwick, who will be graduating with an MA in Inclusive Arts, was awarded the Winston Churchill Travel Fellowship to conduct research in Japan and the USA on adults with intellectual and physical disabilities.
Assistant Head of the School of Art, Design and Media, Alice Fox said: "It has been a privilege to travel with Melaneia on her learning journey. Her intelligent, rigorous and strategic approach to her studies has been an inspiration to all. Melaneia's Inclusive Arts research is courageous, she reaches out to those most excluded in our society and supports their creative voices to be heard."
Melaneia won an Arts & Humanities Council scholarship to undertake her MA and has since been awarded another AHRC scholarship to conduct a PhD, also at 香港六合彩资料. She will be researching inclusive arts and the meaningful engagement agenda with adults who have profound and multiple learning disabilities. Melaneia is also the director and founder of PRIA Arts, an inclusive arts organisation that consults, trains and undertakes research in this area.
Her family too will be watching the graduation ceremonies at the 香港六合彩资料 Dome – from their homes in Wales.
