Graduation is just around the corner, and we’re counting down the days before our ceremonies begin next week. I’ll be graduating from the BA (Hons) English Language course on Monday and I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Since finishing university, I’ve been working in the Development and Alumni Relations Office (DARO), and I can safely say that the team have a lot planned for us graduates! From receiving some free Hallam merchandise, to entering social media competitions, here are some of the things that you can get involved in during your time at City Hall:

• Post your graduation pictures on Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #WeAreHallam to receive a FREE photo print from us. Collect downstairs at City Hall
• Pick up our Snapchat Geofilter at City Hall and Barkers Pool
• Get your hands on some free Graduation 2018 merchandise
• Enter our Facebook competitions to win fantastic prizes, worth £300!
• Find out about what it means to be an alumni and what support is available to you after graduating

The DARO team will be based in the City Hall’s ballroom, and you’ll be able to find us by spotting the giant inflatable Hallam ‘H’ that you can take your celebratory photos with – make sure to come and say hello!

We hope you all have a memorable day. Roll on graduation fortnight 😊
