A Cup of Tea Still Rules Supreme

The phrase 'tea lady' took on a whole new meaning in Oxford! Sarah, a colleague based at Marriotts in Buckingham, kindly volunteered to assist with the preparation of beverages to sustain graudands and guests alike during the robing and photography process. I think readers will agree that tea was indeed being served by a true lady, albeit one who kept her eyes firmly shut!
Thank you Sarah, for filling this vital role on the day!

A few months and a lot of hard work later

Remember those Doctoral candidates from Singapore? The hard work paid off! Here are (from left) Drs Chris Goh, Colin Koh, K C Chan and Casey Loo with Professor Joanna Kozubska, the IMCA Dean for the UK. Missing from the picture is Dr Chua Eng Hwa who unfortunately was unable to travel to London. The photo was taken on 5 September at the Oxford University Examination Schools, the venue for IMCA's 2009 Congregation ceremony.

Dr K C Chan was as usual wearing more than one hat. K C was not only the set adviser and supervisor who had successfully steered his cohort of four students towards their doctorates, but K C himself graduated with a higher Doctorate this year, the degree of Doctor of Letters.
