Conferment Day - June 2021<https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/cvg4pnmkid/yprygdcx8h9xru4xfpp9cz/external?email=true&a=1&p=59747383&t=31139365>
Congratulations to the Class of '21 from Principal and Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir Jim McDonald
[Professor Sir Jim McDonald]At the end of June each year, the University celebrates the achievements of our graduates from all four faculties.
This summer is no different – despite the restrictions – and last week we held the third of our Conferment Day online celebrations.
The Class of ‘21 received a digital ceremony for each Faculty, with contributions from the Convener of Court, the Executive Deans, the Student Executive and from myself. It is always important to mark one of the highlights of the University year and our digital Conferment Days have allowed us to do this, while limitations on gatherings remain in place.
I very much look forward to celebrating in person with our students and families as restrictions lift in the future, and I have made a commitment to offer each of our recent graduates an opportunity to enjoy a conventional graduation ceremony in the Barony Hall in due course.

Enhancing our understanding of the Universe
Scientists have picked up the ripples in space-time caused by the death spiral of two celestial juggernauts – a neutron star and a black hole – for the first time.
The reverberations from these two objects were picked up using a global network of gravitational wave detectors, the most sensitive scientific instruments ever built.

Ensuring safe delivery of cancer services during the pandemic
Patients being treated for sarcoma, a rare type of cancer, report positive attitudes to ‘telemedicine’ – remote consultations with doctors – according to a new survey.
During the COVID-19 pandemic the use of telemedicine consultations has greatly increased in an effort to stop the spread of the virus and help protect vulnerable patients from infection.
Researchers from the University of Strathclyde and the Scottish Sarcoma Network set out to understand sarcoma patients’ attitudes to telemedicine and its impact on them through an anonymous online survey over the summer of 2020.

Spotlight on
Snowdrops (and friendships) blossom at Rottenrow Gardens<https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/cvg4pnmkid/wrof33k3gkkxru4xfpp9cz?email=true&lang=en&a=1&p=59747383&t=31355932>
Celebrating the unique history at the heart of our campus
[https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/v2files/shard1/85313/58/989b4d6bfef2de641bfb35.jpg]
Back in January 2018, Susan Kellie (pictured far right), Personal Assistant to the Director Marketing and Communications, received an email from former midwife Nan Larke, now based in Derbysire, who had trained at the Glasgow Royal Maternity Hospital, based in Rottenrow, in the early 1970s.
Her midwifery badge had incorporated snowdrops as a symbol of purity and she had asked if it would be possible to plant snowdrops in Rottenrow Gardens as a living memorial.
In response, later that year the Grounds Team planted 1000 new snowdrop bulbs and a firm friendship between Nan and Susan also blossomed.
Last month, Nan and her husband were finally able to visit the gardens and meet Susan and members of the Grounds Team to share stories of the unique history at the heart of our campus.
