Editorial

Photo of a newspaper headed 'The Institutional Researcher'

Welcome to the May 2019 edition of The Institutional Researcher.

The month of May marks the capping of graduates on stage and the celebrating of their successes in completing their studies. A huge congratulation goes to all graduates and their family members!

The graduation ceremony highlights what a student has achieved during their many years of study. For most of them it will be a moment they will remember for years to come and marks a significant milestone in their life’s journey. For the universities, it marks the growth of their alumni, with the new graduates becoming a critical part of their university’s community. Looking at the smile on their faces, we too should be proud of ourselves for playing a part in their journeys!

The first semester has gone fast, and I hope you all find some time to chill and relax, perhaps watch the final season of ‘Game of Thrones’ or the latest ‘Avengers’ film. If you are like me and neither of those falls into your bag of favourites, take a few minutes to walk around your campus on a beautiful autumn day!

Enjoy reading
