Golden Graduates re-enact a memory

When three Golden Graduates met up in Malaysia, they couldn't resist the photo opportunity.

Prior to Covid-19, Golden Graduate lunches were a much-anticipated occasion and it's hoped that time will come again soon.

A Golden Graduate has either graduated from the University 50 years ago or has turned 70 and the University of Auckland recognises this milestone at events around the world.

Late last year, in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, one of our Golden Graduates decided to recreate a photo he’d had taken with two University of Auckland friends in the Parnell Rose Gardens in 1968.

A golden moment indeed.
