Celebrations at MK College Group’s HE Graduation ceremony 2024
More than 70 students from Milton Keynes College and the South Central Institute of Technology attended MK College Group’s 2024 Higher Education (HE) Graduation ceremony after achieving their qualifications.
The event was held on Wednesday 27th November at the Stables Theatre in Milton Keynes. The graduates received their certificates for achieving their HNCs, HNDs and professional qualifications, which were presented to them by Milton Keynes College Group’s Chief Executive Sally Alexander and Executive Principal Mark Fell. Joining in the celebrations were the graduates’ families and tutors, as well as the Milton Keynes Mayoress, Marie Bradburn, and the High Sheriff of Milton Keynes and Buckinghamshire, Kurshida Mirza BEM. The celebration included an afternoon tea prepared by the College’s Catering and Hospitality students, and musical performances from Performing Arts learners.
During the ceremony, the College appointed its newest Fellow, in recognition of his contribution to the local community: David Meadowcroft, Business Unit and Global Alliance Director at CBRE Data Centre Solutions, former Head of Governors at the College Group and current Chair of Trustees at the Stables Theatre. David was recognised for his invaluable contributions to the College Group, such as his key role in the acquisition and development of the South Central Institute of Technology, his support in shaping our current Fairer Futures strategy and his commitment to inspiring communities and supporting the rehabilitation of learners in prisons.
Sally Alexander, Group Principal and CEO of Milton Keynes College Group, said: “It was an honour to join our graduates at this very special occasion and to celebrate their achievements with them and their loved ones. Many of this year’s graduates will have had work, family and other commitments to juggle alongside their studies with us, showing that it’s possible to succeed with hard work, dedication and the support of those around you. I’d like to thank our learners for being part of our community at MK College Group and wish them every success for the future.
“We were also delighted to appoint our latest Fellow, David Meadowcroft. David was until recently the Chair of Governors at the College Group and is now Chair of Trustees at the Stables Theatre. David has been an integral part of not only the community at our College Group but also of the wider community of Milton Keynes for many years. Even after stepping down from the Board at MK College Group, David has remained a steadfast supporter of our mission. His influence lives on as we tackle new challenges, and we are guided by the vision he has helped to shape.”
