Nanyang Technological University will hold in-person convocation ceremonies over three weeks for its graduates, which number slightly over 9000 this year.
This year’s convocation ceremonies at Nanyang Technological University will be spread over 44 sessions. They will also be streamed online, live from the Nanyang Auditorium.
The first ceremony was held last Friday and was attended by President Halimah Yacob, in her capacity as Chancellor of NTU.
During the ceremonies, 36 NTU graduates also received the Lee Kuan Yew Gold Medal, with their parents in attendance. This medal is awarded to students with general proficiency in their programme and Honours (Highest Distinction).
Friday’s event also marked the start of celebrations for the university’s 30th anniversary. It was commemorated with the launch of a digital time capsule that will be reopened in 2041, when NTU turns 50.
