MDM Un-Graduation Party Summer 2013

Centre for Digital Media held a un-graduation party for Cohort 7’s Master of Digital Media students on Monday, August 12th 2013.

Previous MDM student cohorts did their internships in the middle of the program so they had a formal graduation ceremony at Centre for Digital Media at the end of their programs. But things changed this year. After spending over 11 intense months with each other the students will go out to their internships around the world, perhaps never to see their fellow students again. They do not actually graduate until July 2014, where they will be attending the traditional pomp and circumstance of the SFU Convocation.

The un-graduation party started with an awards ceremony with family and friends. Not your typical awards ceremony, Oscar-shaped chocolate awards were given out to students in categories such as "Best Dressed", "Biggest Nerd", "Best Presenter", "Most Dependable" and "Biggest Game Addict." Before and after the untraditional awards ceremony there was time to mingle with family and friends in the CDM lobby with appies and desserts. Later, there was a boat cruise from Vancouver's Coal Harbour, out to English Bay and up the Burrard Inlet.
