Spring has well and truly sprung in Bath, and with it a range of exciting new starts. This includes a fresh brood of everyone’s favourite campus residents – the ducklings!
We recently welcomed back the classes of 2020 and 2021 for the first of our rescheduled graduation ceremonies. It was fantastic to see so many Bath grads celebrating with family and friends and to officially welcome them to our alumni community.
We’ve also launched Parade Profiles, a new series of alumni case studies. You can read them weekly on our blog, and if you’d like to share your own story, we’d love to hear from you.
