News from the Head of SchoolGraduation day Graduation day was, as usual, hot and sunny. A record number of staff – 21 – braved the heat of Whitworth Hall to be part of the procession and platform party this year, a great display of support for our students as they move on to the next phase of their lives. Thanks also to Karen, Gill, Emma and Gavin for managing the Hall so smoothly and coping calmly with the customary glitch in the presentation of the graduates. There are some nice pictures of the platform party and the view from the platform here: http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~toby/GraduationJuly13/ It was great to welcome so many visitors to the reception and prizegiving, even if some of them were a bit shy and hid in the bushes until after it was all over: BBQ ...and as always it was warm and sunny for the BBQ as well. The weather, the people, the food, the drink and of course the music (especially Jez’s "I've got you under my skin") all made it a great event, thank you to everyone who helped to organise it and to clear up afterwards. The date of next year’s BBQ will be announced as soon as possible.
