Kudos to the class of 2021!
In a year where the norm has been challenged, Kent Institute Australia (Kent) celebrated the achievements of Graduands by holding a Virtual Graduation ceremony on Thursday, 9 December 2021.
307 Graduands were awarded Undergraduate and Vocational Qualifications. Through the benefits of zoom, family and friends from onshore and offshore were able to attend the virtual event to recognise their achievements.
Representatives from Kent’s Governing Board and Academic Board were present for the formalities while Dimitri Kopanakis serenaded the graduates and provided musical performances throughout the virtual event.
Indeed, 2021 was certainly a year of challenges and Kent’s graduands are commended for their resilience and achievements.
Keynote Speaker, Lucie Bielczykova a Kent Alumni and a graduate of Bachelor of Accounting shared her valuable academic, professional and life experiences on how she achieved her success. Three key points from her speech were – winners are not people who never fail, but those who never quit, be proud of what you achieved, share it with the world and use it to your advantage and whatever you choose to do always give it your best.
