Established in 2014, Golden Graduation has become one of the most memorable occasions on the university calendar. As the graduating class from 50 years ago (and prior) you can look forward to a very special day with us at your alma mater. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to hear from members of the University of Cape Town (UCT) leadership team, to participate in a UCT graduation ceremony and meet the current cohort of graduates as well as having an opportunity to reconnect with your former UCT classmates.

If you know of former classmates who would be interested in attending this event, please feel free to share this special invitation with them.

About UCT Golden Graduation:  
•    The event commences with a tea and registration at the Development and Alumni Department in the Old Admin Building at Lower Campus.
•    Golden Graduates will be shuttled to UCT Upper Campus to participate in the graduation ceremony, wearing academic gowns and gold scarves. As a special guest, you will be seated in the front rows, for the duration of the ceremony, which will start at 10h00.
•    This will be followed by a luncheon hosted by UCT Vice-Chancellor, Professor Mosa Moshabela at his official residence, Glenara, along with representatives from the University of Cape Town's senior leadership team. 
•    We end the Golden Graduation experience with an optional Campus Tour so that you can see how the built environment has changed over time.
