Social policy and social work lecturer Maureen Cole yesterday urged new graduates not to appease with mediocre work, but “do your best to provide the best-possible service.”

Dr Cole insisted on the need for continuous education and training, as well as professional support to help social workers combat daily tension.

Furthermore, she urged the new graduates to engage in a collegial effort to provide the best in social work.

“The need to work together is becoming more and more important in every sector, so I urge you to learn to work together. Take advantage of every opportunity to learn and train so that you will understand what is involved to work together,” Dr Cole said.

New B.Psychology (Hons.) graduate Moira Cachia, who was a mature student, also delivered a speech during yesterday’s ceremony and made reference to the need for an improved service in child care for mature students.

Delivering another speech and representing yesterday’s graduates, BA (Hons.) Youth & Community Studies graduate Fleur Blanco encouraged fellow graduates, telling them to be hopeful when facing the competitive work environment as new professionals in their field.

Following is the full list of yesterday’s graduates:
