Congratulations to 12 graduates affiliated with the Department of Consumer and Food Sciences whose degrees were conferred at the University of Pretoria’s virtual Spring Graduation Ceremony on 30 September. The virtual ceremony took the place of the graduation ceremonies scheduled for 29 September to 2 October. Because COVID-19 physical distancing protocols prohibit mass gatherings, UP has held virtual graduation ceremonies in 2020. Vice-chancellor and Principal Professor Tawana Kupe said a “physical graduation” to honour all the 2020 graduates would take place in May 2021.
