SOES celebrates Class of 2010
One hundred and sixteen School of Ocean and Earth Science (SOES) graduates received their degrees from the University of Southampton on 20th July.
Graduation is the highlight of the academic year and a tribute to the hard work of our students during their time at Southampton. It is also a time for students to express their thanks to their families and to the staff who have supported them through their endeavours.
After receiving their hard-won degrees, 360 new graduates, parents, families and friends joined academics and staff at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) in Southampton to celebrate their success with champagne and strawberries on the croquet lawn and to recogniseseveral student prize winners. The event continues to grow, due in large part to the dedication and hard work of the SOES administrative team who organise the event each year.
The School’s roots can be traced back to 1862 when geology was first taught and to 1964 when oceanography was first offered as a degree course. Through the years, the Departments of Geology and Oceanography evolved and in 1998 merged to become SOES, one of the UK’s strongest Schools for ocean and Earth science. Today, students study along-side world-leading scientists in an unparalleled academic environment.
Our 2010 SOES graduates join a Southampton alumni community that is 160,000 strong and spans the globe. We encourage all of our alumni to stay connected and to continue their involvement with the University.
Congratulations to the Class of 2010!
