The Congregations Office is preparing for the forthcoming November ceremonies in Rochester and Canterbury Cathedrals.

We would welcome and appreciate offers of help for any, or all of the ceremonies.  Your support on these occasions is very much appreciated and contributes significantly to the success of the event. We would encourage departments and Schools to volunteer as much as possible for their respective ceremonies as students genuinely appreciate seeing familiar faces on the day.

There are a number of roles to be filled throughout the Congregation period including:

• Graduate registration
• Ushering
• Ticket collection.

Training will be provided in advance of the ceremonies for all duties, where required. In addition, refreshments will be made available throughout the day and any car parking expenses will be refunded later on production of a ticket. Exact timings for the day will be confirmed once duties are allocated. You can use the following link to check the ceremony schedule on the Congregation webpages: http://www.kent.ac.uk/congregations/ceremony-dates/index.html

We are looking for helpers for the following ceremonies:

• Rochester Cathedral on Wednesday 18 November 2015 at 14.30
• Canterbury Cathedral on Friday 20 November 2015 at 10.30
• Canterbury Cathedral on Friday 20 November 2015 at 14.30
• Canterbury Cathedral on Friday 20 November 2015 at 19.30.

If you are able to help, then please fill out the following poll: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/F6H56G9

If you have any questions relating to the ceremonies or Congregations as a whole, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to hopefully seeing you at some of the ceremonies and thank you again for your support- we could not do it without you.
