FABI celebrates with the 68 graduates affiliated with the Institute whose degrees were conferred at the University of Pretoria ’s first virtual graduation ceremony on 6 April. UP took the extraordinary decision to conduct a virtual graduation ceremony and award all its degrees for the Autumn graduation ceremonies (due to take place from 7 April to 8 May) in absentia. UP had to postpone its traditional graduation ceremonies in adherence to national lockdown regulations set by the South African Government in response to the Covid-19 outbreak, which prohibit mass gatherings. Vice-chancellor and Principal Professor Tawana Kupe conducted the virtual graduation streamed on the video-sharing channel, YouTube. In his address, Prof. Kupe said the virtual graduation was meant for all the graduates – a record-breaking 11,001 – to “formally graduate, get your certificate and to get on with your life.” Prof. Kupe said that “as soon as conditions allow” UP would inform graduates about “ways to access your degree certificates” and hold traditional graduation ceremonies in the future. FABI congratulates the following graduates: PhD Dr Teddy Amuge Dr Robert Backer Dr Katrin Fitza Dr Joey Hulbert Dr Miekie Human Dr Farooq Kyeyune Dr Edgar Mangwende Dr Jan Nagel Dr David Nsibo Dr Nicky Olivier Dr Desre Pinard Dr Ronel Roberts Dr Mohammad Sayari Dr Gi Yoon Shin Dr Michel Tchoumi Tchotet Dr Andi Wilson MSc Katrien Brown Julia Candotti Michael du Toit Shaina Facey Caitlin Gevers Alessandro Gricia Sasha-Lee Gush Rochelle Janse van Rensburg Christoff Joubert Melissa Jouber t Tamanique Kampman Frances Lane Lizette Loubser Lazarus Mavima Nikki Miguel Patience Modiba Gontse Modisane Seamus Morgan Sanele Moyana Khumbudzo Ndhlovu Kayla Noeth Miranda Procter Carol-Ann Segal Sydney Sithole Julanie Stapelberg Catherine Tatham Nomakula Zim BSc (Hons) Surprise Baloyi Ruby Ebbeling Alicia Fick Eleanor Froneman Casey Gill Verushka Ibanez Daniella Kramer Kristiann Labuschagne Christopher Liakos Trystan Nadasen Jenna-Lee Price Boitshoko Rammuki Claire Randolph Kevin Scheepers Cassandra Schoeman Medha Sood Shae Swanepoel Louisa Terblanche Dee Twiddy Nicole van Vuuren Lente van Zyl Anien Viljoen Keenan Williams BSc (Agric) Erika Botha Cheyenne Theron Postgraduate Dipl (Entrepreneurship) Dr Albe van der Merwe
