TUS student’s disappointment over online graduationA mature student who returned to education after almost 30 years and completed a Bachelor of Business degree through TUS in Athlone said she was disappointed the achievements of her and her classmates were marked with an online, rather than in-person, graduation ceremony. Having completed her course online, she had been expecting and looking forward to an in-person graduation ceremony this month. "Yes, you can do the online ceremony, and in (TUS's) eyes they are recognising us and congratulating us, but it's not the same thing. The TUS students' union in Athlone, confirmed that it's organising an in-person celebration later this month for the students who had graduated virtually. The president of TUS students' union in Athlone, Niall Naughton, said this event would be held on-campus on Saturday, November 26 from noon to 2pm.
