More than 1200 students will graduate this week, celebrating their journey with friends, family and Massey staff.

The ceremonies, held at the Regent on Broadway in Palmerston North, will start this afternoon, after which they will occur twice daily until the final ceremony on Wednesday afternoon. There will also be events to celebrate Pasifika and Māori graduates on Thursday night.

A total of 1215 students will graduate, including 26 with doctorates and 173 receiving master’s degrees. Graduation ceremonies will also take place in Wellington later this month.

Look out for Massey staff who will be on hand to take photos for social media before and after each ceremony. It is a great chance to get some more casual photos with family and friends. These photos will be posted on Facebook, for students to share, like and comment on. We encourage Massey staff to engage with this content. It can be a great outlet for congratulating students, wishing them well for their next stage in life and inspiring future students.

Twitter and Instagram users attending graduation day, whether they are graduands, family, friends or staff, are encouraged to share highlights using the hashtag #MasseyGrad.

You can watch a live stream of each ceremony here.
