HUNDREDS of students will take part in the second day of York St John University’s graduations in York Minster today.
Also joining those graduating on stage throughout the course of three days of ceremonies will be notable figures collecting honorary degrees.
This year, these include London 7/7 bombings survivor and paralympic athlete Martine Wright, who will become a doctor of health sciences in recognition of her remarkable contribution to sport in the face of adversity.
Martine lost both legs in the 7/7 terrorist attacks on the London underground, when she was sitting only metres away from the bomber. She has since rebuilt her life and became a member of the British 2012 Paralympic volleyball team.
Sir Philip Craven, president of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), will receive the honorary degree of doctor of laws in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the sport of wheelchair basketball and the London Paralympics.
Camila Batmanghelidjh, charity leader and businesswoman, will also receive the honorary degree of doctor of laws in recognition of her outstanding contribution to counselling for young people.
Prof David Fleming, who took up his post as the university’s vice chancellor in 2010, said: “These individuals have all made an outstanding impact in their respective fields and I am certain that their stories will inspire our students for many years to come.”
Degrees will be presented by the university’s chancellor, the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, or Prof Fleming, in front of an audience of graduands, their families and friends at two ceremonies today with the last of this year’s graduation ceremonies taking place tomorrow.
