The graduation took place in four segments, with the VUAS administration congratulating the new specialists at each one. While honoring the graduates, VUAS rector PhD Kārlis Krēsliņš reminded them that the doors of VUAS would always be open to them, and that they must continue to take use of the university's extensive study and lifetime learning opportunities even after graduation.
