Musical Instrument Crafts students and proud friends and family attended Lincoln College’s annual graduation ceremony held at the historic Lincoln Cathedral on Oct 4, 2022.
The new graduates and their families then joined local dignitaries, prominent employers and college staff for a graduation reception at The Drill to continue the celebrations.
Students received their degrees from four pathways: Guitar, Piano, Violin, and Woodwind.
Guest of honour, Daniel Wilkinson, was awarded companionship of Lincoln College for his contribution to the College and gave an inspiring graduation address.
Lincoln College Group Principal and CEO, Mark Locking, said: “What a wonderful celebration of the amazing achievements of our higher education students. This is always one of my favorite events of the year as our teachers who have worked so hard get to see the look of pride on our graduates’ faces and those of their families.
“And how fitting for it to take place during the week that we celebrate World Teachers Day. We are so immensely proud of the work of our higher and further education teachers through some tough times in recent years.”
Josanna Fielder, Musical Instrument Craft (Violin Making and Repair) graduate, said: "It's a strange one graduating. It's been a long one especially with Covid, it's nice to get to this point and actually graduate."
Elena LLanes, also graduating from Musical Instrument Craft (Violin Making and Repair), added: "Patricia and I have both come from Spain especially to study here at Newark College because, for us, it's one of the most important schools in the world for this course."
Lincoln College is still recruiting students to study on its degree courses for 2022 entry. It’s not too late to apply, even if a student has started at another University or college. The fee will be reduced to reflect the later start.
