Congratulations Dr @TiwaSavage! 👏 We're super proud to have awarded the Queen of Afrobeats an honorary doctorate at Canterbury Cathedral this morning. #MadeInKent #KentGrads

Yesterday we welcomed @elliegoulding back to @UniKent to receive her honorary Doctor of Arts degree. Congrats Dr Goulding!

"I'm super proud and I want you to go out there, have fun and kill it. Be the best you that you can be because you truly deserve it." That's the message for our Class of 2022 from #Kent alumni and afrobeat superstar @TiwaSavage. #KentGrads #MadeInKent

Tiwa studied Business at Kent before she embarked on her incredible career - a reminder to all our graduates today to reach for the stars! ✨🤩 #MadeInKent

Trust us when we say you're going to want the sound on for this one! 🎶 Listen as Dr @TiwaSavage ends her graduation speech doing what she does best... #KentGrads #MadeInKent

It was a pleasure to welcome Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Edinburgh to Kent yesterday as she formally opened the @KMMSmedschool at the Pears medical building.

Gbenga Oduntan from @KentLawSchool remembers Tiwa from her time at Kent. He said: "As a long time staff member, I do remember Tiwa as a student. Quiet, unassuming and mostly to be spotted around the library. Little did everyone on campus know we were incubating a star." 1/2

Congratulations! 🎉 We can't wait to see you here at Kent!

He adds: "Tiwa has taken Africa and indeed the world by storm in Afrobeats, R&B, pop, hip hop and soul. She is an enduring star. Tiwa proves that continuous hard work at Uni and in the outside world pays. I doff my hat to Dr. Savage."

Introducing our new Chancellor... @yolandabrown OBE DL 🎷 We're delighted to announce that the double-MOBO winning musician and broadcaster has been appointed to the role of Chancellor, succeeding Gavin Esler who has retired from the position after almost 10 years in the role. Having graduated with a first-class undergraduate masters degree in European Management Science with Spanish from the University’s Kent Business School, before going on to achieve her second masters degree and undertake a PhD, YolanDa will be installed as Chancellor during one of our graduation ceremonies in July. Speaking about her appointment, YolanDa said: 'My time at the University of Kent was character building, life affirming, and a bucket full of emotions. Every single time I am on campus a new memory returns, so you can imagine my joy accepting this role as Chancellor. The University of Kent has always been at the forefront of fostering a diverse, inclusive, and vibrant community. Its dedication to providing outstanding education, promoting research that makes a real-world difference, and its unwavering support for students from all walks of life resonate deeply with my own values. 'I am excited to work alongside the talented staff, and students to build on this foundation as the university strives towards new heights of achievement.' Read more ➡️ bit.ly/4b8iXbR #UniKent

A new study published today provides the strongest evidence to date that not only is nature conservation successful, but that further investment would be transformational for halting and reversing biodiversity loss 🌍 Dr @JEBicknell, Senior Lecturer in Biodiversity Conservation is one of four lead authors on this groundbreaking conservation research which demonstrates that conservation actions are effective at reducing the effects of climate change. The findings of this first-ever comprehensive global study of the impact of conservation interventions, work led by @rewild (co-founded by @LeoDiCaprio), along with @IUCN and @UniofOxford conclude that the challenge now is to expand conservation interventions to the transformational scale necessary to reverse the global biodiversity crisis to the benefit of all life on Earth, while reducing threats to biodiversity, such as unsustainable consumption and production. ➡️ kent.ac.uk/news/sustainabili… #UniKent #Conservation #ClimateChange #Biodiversity #NatureBasedSolutions #Rewild #ConservationWorks @DICE_Kent
