Otago Daily Times photographers GerardO’Brien and GregorRichardson captured the celebrations of 680 Otago Polytechnic graduands during the parade on George St before two graduation ceremonies yesterday.
It was the first time two ceremonies have been held in one day. An Otago Polytechnic spokeswoman said two ceremonies were needed because of a "large increase" in students taking courses at the institution. Both were held in the Dunedin Town Hall.
