Graduation Ceremony – Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Surrey.

I was delighted to be invited to attend and join the procession for the graduation ceremony on Friday July 18^th held at Guildford Cathedral for those graduating from the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Surrey.

Such ceremonies are always a joyous occasion with proud friends and family in attendance; but this ceremony also had special significance as Dr Julie Llewelyn, past High Sheriff, was being awarded a Honorary Degree for her services to Surrey.

I have known Julie for a number of years through our work with the Community Foundation for Surrey and it was a privilege to be in attendance for this well deserved recognition. Jim Glover, also a past High Sheriff, recent Pro-Chancellor of the University and past Chair of the Community Foundation was also there to join the celebrations.
