Class of 2023 alumna following in her mum’s footsteps

Posted on: 27 June 2024 in 2024

It’s almost that time of year where we celebrate our summer graduates and all they’ve achieved.

For radiography alumna Elle (BSc Hons Diagnostic Radiography 2023), her graduation day was made even more special as she got to celebrate gaining her degree 13 years after her mum - in the same course!

Elle posed for a photograph with her mum, Lisa, outside the Philharmonic Hall in 2010. She returned to the same spot 13 years later to take some more...

Elle celebrated her mum's graduation as a child by trying her cap on for size…

Before wearing her own official dress on her day…

Just like at her mum’s graduation, her family joined the celebrations…

Elle’s mum won an academic award for her performance at Liverpool.

And graduated alongside her best friend Anna. They’re just as close today…

They even work together as sonographers, in the same hospital. Along with Elle…
