Graduation Launch Event details
All the fun of Graduation
Gowning suppliers will be available to help you check sizes and explain how to order your cap and gown.
You’ll find message boards where you can write a note to friends, family, or fellow students about your experience at Kent. If you can’t attend in person, you’ll be able to submit your message online. Selected messages may even be shown during the Cathedral ceremonies.
Look out for QR codes around the venue to enter the Graduation Competition. Prizes and details will be announced at the event.
