Chelsea Brown received the Principal Outstanding Resilience Award for staying power and fortitude in the face of adversity.  Chelsea overcame many challenges in her personal life over the three years with the College, but still delivered her BA (Hons) Business Management & Entrepreneurship degree independently and to a very high standard.

In the afternoon, the same award was given to Olivia Shaw who took the plunge into a full-time BA (Hons) Youth Work & Community Development degree, juggling the demands of parenting, college, and work placements.

Speaking to a capacity audience, Bradford College Principal & CEO Chris Webb said:

"Graduation ceremonies are such a wonderful highlight in the academic calendar. I am proud to be the Principal of Bradford College and I want to take this opportunity to say congratulations to all our graduands on this incredible achievement.

"You should all be very proud of yourselves. I hope that graduating today will give you the confidence to be brave and go out and change the world; to use your learning and education for the betterment of society."
