MSU graduation this Saturday

THE 2017 Midlands State University (MSU) graduation ceremony will be held on Saturday following its cancellation last week.

The graduation ceremony was cancelled when the Zimbabwe Defence Forces launched “Operation Restore Legacy”, which saw former President and Chancellor of State Universities Cde Robert Mugabe resigning at a time when the ceremony was supposed to take place.

In a notice yesterday, MSU said the graduation ceremony would be held at the institution’s main campus in Senga, Gweru.

“Midlands State University wishes to advise its valued stakeholders and graduands that the 2017 graduation ceremony will be held on Friday at the Gweru Main Campus,” said the university. “Graduands and guests are required to be seated by 8am.”

The university said graduands and guests’ invitation cards were ready for collection at Gweru Main Campus from respective faculty offices.

“Graduands are encouraged to collect their invitation cards at the Gweru Main Campus from their respective faculty offices. Those who are unable to collect their invitation cards by Thursday 30 November can collect them on the day of rehearsals which is Friday December 1.

“Rehearsals will commence at 2pm at the Gweru Main Campus. Please note, all graduands are strongly encouraged to attend the rehearsals in order to participate in the ceremony.”

Meanwhile, Gweru Mayor Councillor Charles Chikozho said the rehabilitation of Senga roundabout turn-off road, which ends at MSU MainCampus gate, had been completed.

The road was resurfaced.
