Graduating Te Pūkenga NMIT students celebrated in a procession which took them from a ceremony held at the Trafalgar Centre, down through the main streets of Nelson.
Following behind a traditional bag pipe band students walked to a reception held in the gardens of NMIT. The traditional march had returned for the first time after being paused by Covid-19 last year.
Around 260 graduates collected their awards in Nelson on Friday in two separate ceremonies, with the largest group of 47 students obtaining Nursing degrees.
Overall, 1500 students graduated from NMIT in 2022.
