Submission of PhD thesis on Global Orangeism
Patrick Coleman prepares to ring the University bell
Congratulations to our postgraduate member Patrick Coleman on the submission of his PhD thesis on the global Orange Order.
In keeping with Otago tradition, Patrick (accompanied by his supervisor Professor Angela McCarthy) collected his chocolate fish and card from the Graduate Research School and then proceeded to the Clocktower Building to borrow the recycled rimu mallet to ring the University bell.
We wish Patrick well for the examination process.
Patrick Coleman and Professor Angela McCarthy
