As the sun casts its warm glow on the bustling campus, excitement fills the air, marking the arrival of graduation week. This much-anticipated event is a time to honour the accomplishments of students who have worked tirelessly to complete their degrees. This year, we celebrate the achievements of three outstanding postgraduates – two earning their master’s degrees and one achieving the coveted title of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).

The first graduate, Jeeva, has completed her Master of Science in Physiotherapy, demonstrating exceptional skill and dedication in her field. We acknowledge her perseverance and expertise in this rapidly evolving discipline as she progresses to receive her well-earned degree.

Next, we turn our attention to Imaan, who has been awarded a Master’s in Physiotherapy. As she dons her graduation cap, we look forward to his continued impact on Physiotherapy.

Finally, we honour the exceptional achievements of Blake, who has earned her PhD in Physiotherapy. His research on the complex interactions of Spinal Cord injuries (SCI) has led to new insights into treating South African SCI conditions. As he proudly accepts his doctoral hood, we celebrate his academic prowess and tireless pursuit of knowledge.

Graduation week is a time of reflection, appreciation, and anticipation. As we applaud the accomplishments of Jeeva, Imaan and Blake, we also acknowledge the collective effort of countless professors, mentors, and peers who have supported them throughout their academic journeys. As these three exceptional individuals embark on the next chapter of their lives, we do not doubt their dedication, passion, and expertise will continue to impact the world. Congratulations to our esteemed graduates!
