Abstract
-
This digitised archival document records the Rhodes University Graduation Ceremony held on Thursday, 9 April 2015, at 10:00 at the 1820 Settlers National Monument. It identifies the university’s leadership and faculty deans and documents the formal proceedings, including the conferral of undergraduate, honours and doctoral degrees. The programme includes extensive lists of graduates in the Faculty of Science, with distinctions noted across disciplines such as biochemistry, chemistry, computer science, environmental science, mathematics, microbiology, geography, marine biology and fisheries science. Doctoral records provide thesis titles, academic departments, qualifications, supervisors and co-supervisors, preserving evidence of postgraduate research on topics including water governance, climate adaptation, biodiversity, marine ecology, environmental management, biotechnology, nanotechnology and mathematical modelling. The ceremony also recognises the Jongaphambili Sinethemba Group with the Vice-Chancellor’s Distinguished Award for Community Engagement, Barry Vivian William Irwin with the Distinguished Research Medal, and Charles Michael Shackleton with the Distinguished Senior Research Medal. Additional sections explain the historical origins and traditions of graduation, reproduce the university hymn Vis Virtus Veritas, and include the South African national anthem. As a primary institutional record, the programme supports biographical and genealogical research, verification of qualifications, and the study of Rhodes University’s academic history, research activity and ceremonial traditions in 2015.
