One of the best weeks of the academic year is here.

This week we get to see University of Kent students graduate at the iconic Canterbury Cathedral alongside their class mates, lecturers, friends and family. It's a special thing to witness students celebrating their hard work and finishing their degree.

A few of our team will be helping out during the evening ceremonies and have worked with our internal catering team to provide refreshments for the staff volunteers throughout the week.
