SAO Graduation Ceremony, October 2006

On Wednesday 25 October, SAO proudly graduated another 4 Graduate Certificate of Science students, 5 Graduate Diploma of Science students, and 14 Master of Science students. Four graduates came to Melbourne to attend the graduation ceremony (Richard Heggie from Sydney, Tim Hunter from the USA, Christophe Lienhard from France, and Brett Hawton from South Africa), and visited the Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing afterwards for a tour of the Centre. They visited the supercomputer and took a 3D flight through the Universe in our Virtual Reality theatre. Then followed drinks at the local pub and an SAO celebratory dinner at a Himalayan restaurant. Congratulations to all our graduates!

For photos of the graduates, see the SAO alumni photo gallery.
