Flinders University’s April graduation ceremonies took place 14-17 April on campus in the Graduation Hall (Alan Mitchell Sports Centre) and saw more than 1600 graduating students receive their awards. A further 650 students were eligible to graduate, but were unable to attend the ceremonies.
We wish the April graduates the very best for the future and warmly welcome them into the Flinders alumni family. They join a network of 81,500 graduates that extends across more than 100 countries.
