Call for Graduation volunteers
Graduation is the highlight of the academic year and this year ceremonies will be taking place between Tuesday 9 and Thursday 18 July 2024.
Teesside University welcomes over 20,000 graduands, guests, friends and staff to Middlesbrough campus across the fortnight of activity. It is an occasion for the whole University community to come together and celebrate academic achievement and the successful conclusion of studies.
Graduation is one of the University’s largest events and we need volunteers to help make graduation a happy, special and positive occasion.
Alongside staff who will be volunteering their time, this year we’re pleased to open up volunteer roles to interested alumni.
