Two ICRT graduation ceremonies in July

This year I have had the pleasure of attending two graduation ceremonies for ICRT Masters graduates, one ?robed? at Leeds Met the other as a guest at Greenwich. The ICRT and the Masters course moved form Greenwich to Leeds Met and we still have a few students completing their dissertations at Greenwich. You can see the photos online.

Amongst this year’s Master graduates Katelijne Lenaerts has secured a post as project manager of a European Community tourism project in Suriname, Lucy McCombes is joining the ICRT as a Research Fellow, Linda Ver’sdal is developing her responsible tourism business in Norway www.ansvarligturisme.org , Anna Waddilove is writing up her research as an occasional paper, Rebecca Leah Pelkonen is working in the industry in Canada but still finding time to be involved in organising the Together for Peace Leeds Summat www.t4p.org.uk/jointhesummat

The greatest reward of working in a university with graduate students is the vicarious satisfaction that comes from watching their success in acheiving change in the world.
