For the first time ever, Griffith’s December graduation ceremonies were streamed live on the web from Brisbane, Logan and the Gold Coast. This enabled the family and friends of our graduates to share in their special day no matter where they were in the world.
We have now uploaded all 16 ceremonies to the Griffith University YouTube channel so that students, University staff, families and friends can view these special occasions at their leisure.
To watch the videos of the graduation ceremonies visit the playlist Griffith Graduations on YouTube.
