The first cohort of TSM students celebreate their graduation in the Royal Albert Hall

4th May 2011 will no longer bring to mind just Star Wars, but also the historic occasion on which the first TSM-CDT students received their Master's degrees at Imperial's Postgraduate Awards Ceremony in the fabulous surroundings of the Royal Albert Hall. Aeneas Wiener, Olakunle Olalere, Jassel Majevadia, Robert Horton, Joseph Fallon, David Edmunds and Richard Broadbent, begowned and behooded, in turn ascended the stage to shake the hand of Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller, Deputy Chairman of the Council and former Head of MI5. As they crossed the stage, the TSM Director Professor Adrian Sutton and their mentor Dr Arash Mostofi, dressed in full academic regalia, beamed proudly down on their charges. The champagne reception afterwards was thoroughly enjoyed by all!
