Graduation celebration 2 June

The stage will be set between the glasshouse and building 4. We will provide entertainment, inspiring speeches, and exciting guests with the ambition of giving the students a memorable conclusion to their time at Kristianstad University.

All students, relatives of graduating students, and university staff are welcome to join us in celebrating our newly graduated students and their achievements. Therefore, we hope for a strong turnout from both staff and students.

Together, we make this day something special. Be there as we organize a joint celebration for the first time, where we create memories together.

We will have photographers on-site to capture this moment, so there will be no photography during individual programme ceremonies. The graduates can have their photos taken at the HKR letters by building 4, from 12:00 to 14:00 and 15:00 to 16:00. No pre-booking is required – just show up and wait for your turn.

So spread the word, invite your friends, and come celebrate with us!

Psst, feel free to dress in something green ;)

See you on campus 2 June.
