We are delighted to host Summer Graduation in July 2023. We are writing to ask for help at the ceremonies taking place from Monday 17 July until Friday 21 July 2023 at the Brighton Centre, King’s Road, Brighton.

Graduation ceremonies are an ideal opportunity to play your part in congratulating our students on their academic achievements and are a key event in the University calendar. 

We are incredibly thankful to be supported by the many members of staff who work with us during this special occasion. Those who have worked at graduation before will know that the contribution made by Professional Services staff is vital in making the celebration a success.

We need over 100 members of staff to work each day of graduation and we cannot emphasise enough how much we value and appreciate your help. If your normal working hours are part-time, please sign up and we will find a duty to accommodate your availability.

A delicious hot lunch will be provided as well as refreshments and snacks during your regular breaks. For more details, including descriptions of the duties available, check out our webpages.

Your safety at graduation is of utmost importance. Although Government restrictions on social distancing and capacities have been lifted, we still have a number of safety measures in place for graduation.

If you have any queries in the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact us by emailing graduation@sussex.ac.uk or phoning Sara Tooth on 7015.

Many thanks in advance for your support and we look forward to seeing you at the Brighton Centre.
