AIC celebrates the graduation of 145 international students

This week Auckland International Campus (AIC) will celebrate the graduation of 145 of its international students.

 Gagan Sachdeva, Chief Executive AIC, says graduation is the culmination of the hard work of students and staff. 

"It’s great to see our graduands representing many different nations including Bangladesh, China, India, Italy, Kazakhstan, Nepal, Philippines, Russian Federation, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and Vietnam. A huge congratulations and best wishes for a new beginning to all of our graduands. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the entire team at AIC who work tirelessly to see our learners succeed. A very special thanks also goes to all of our colleagues at the Dunedin campus for their continued support and encouragement in providing a stimulating learning environment at AIC," he says.

Graduands include Capable NZ students.

Glenys Forsyth, Head of School Capable NZ, says, "Capable NZ has 32 learners graduating in Auckland tomorrow. This adds to the 91 graduates from the March graduation. Studying whilst working full-time and negotiating family commitments is no easy task, and the learners are to be commended for the effort they put into completing their studies. As Head of School, graduation is a special occasion for me, not only because it gives me the opportunity to acknowledge learners’ achievement but to  also acknowledge the work my staff do to support learners throughout their journey. At a recent graduation one learner put his qualification into perspective by saying, It didn’t take me 10 months to  complete my Bachelor of Engineering, rather it took me 40 years."
