Employability Points

GET INVOLVED, GET REWARDED.


 

EP Rewards Ceremony 2012

The rewards ceremony is a fantastic opportunity to showcase student talent and achievement during their time at University.


Thursday 7th June 2012 was our Employability Points Rewards Ceremony at the Gulbenkian Theatre, Canterbury. Sponsors and supporters from around the country came to celebrate the achievements of nearly 150 students, along with various colleagues and supporters from within the university itself. Canapes and champagne were served as guests such as the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Canterbury, Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Kent, and University of Kent Chancellor Sir Robert Worcester arrived.

Guests networked to the low-key, elegant tunes of pianist and Kent graduate Emily Yates and were treated to a succulent buffet and more music from Kent graduate Chris Manley after the ceremony.
