WGSL & RACL Graduation Ceremony
May 2010
A cloudy sky could not dampen the spirits of nearly one hundred
graduates and over five hundred of their guests at the Webster
University at Regent's College Commencement Ceremony.
Spirits were high and the St Marylebone Church was packed
with excited students celebrating and loved ones sharing in their
achievements.
Professor Aldwyn Cooper officially began the annual ceremony,
followed by a welcome from Dean Judith Ackroyd and an address by
Professor Bill Lynch.
Newly Minted Alumni
The names for presentation of degree awards were read by Dr.
Valerie Kaneko-Lucas, Head of Regent's American College London, and
David Parrish, former Head of the Webster Graduate School
London.
Following the conferral of degrees newly- minted alumna Krista
Fink gave a personal speech on behalf of all graduates. Professor
Cooper then closed the ceremony and invited all to a reception on
the lawn of Regent's College.
Under the marquee, family and friends mingled with one
another and the Webster Mascot, the Gorlock, made his first
appearance on British soil.
A lovely buffet and a selection of beverages kept all warm
despite some brief rain and chilly temperatures.
A heartfelt thanks goes out to all the staff who contributed to
make Saturday's celebration and rousing success.

"The quality of education together with the exclusive diversity of students in Webster Graduate School was an extremely enriching experience. It is a fact that London is a major cosmopolitan city, a feature inevitably reflected in most of its universities, yet the selection of students in Webster proved to be more diverse. The tranquillity of the campus being located in the beautiful Regents Park added a distinctive essence to the whole experience."
