The international college graduation ceremony was filled with moments that will forever be etched in the minds of the attendees. From the emotional entrance of the graduating class, donning their caps and gowns, to the rapturous applause as each name was called for the diploma presentation, every second was full of pride and emotion. Families and friends cheered on, some with tears in their eyes, as they watched their loved ones walk across the stage, symbolising years of hard work and dedication.

A particularly touching moment occurred when a student speaker, selected for their outstanding achievements, delivered an inspiring speech. The student spoke about the journey they and their peers had undergone—from the initial uncertainty of freshman year to becoming confident graduates ready to take on the world. The speech reflected the highs and lows of university life, the challenges they faced, and the collective support from peers and professors that had helped them succeed. The heartfelt words resonated with everyone present, bringing a sense of unity and accomplishment to the entire graduating class.

Another highlight was the university’s tribute to the faculty, who were integral to the students’ success. Teachers who had guided and mentored these graduates throughout their academic journey were celebrated, and their contributions were acknowledged with gratitude by the students. This recognition underscored the collaborative spirit that defines the Roots IVY experience.
