Class Valedictorian Carl Boobyer

 “Being an older student, it was a bit strange at first going back into education, but I soon made a lot of connections and a lot of friends and I’ve really enjoyed my time at UCM. The skills that I’ve learned on the course have all been extremely useful in my new business. You should never let age be a barrier to going back to education and following your dreams.”

Carl Boobyer, BA (Hons) Culinary Arts and Management, was chosen to give the Valedictory Speech at the 2023 Graduation Ceremony.
