Record number of graduates
A record 1463 people (up from 1430 last year) will graduate from Otago Polytechnic tomorrow.
Two afternoon ceremonies will be held at the Dunedin Town Hall. This is the second year that the polytechnic has catered for rising graduate numbers by holding two December ceremonies.
Otago Polytechnic external relations director Mike Waddell says the graduations inject money into the Dunedin economy, as well as add to the city's vibrancy, including by strengthening and adding further skills to city businesses, and bringing ''new blood'' to Dunedin and Otago.
Slightly fewer people – 644 (compared to 660) – will graduate in person tomorrow.
