For today's #12DaysofBGU we take you back to July! Graduation is the highlight of the academic year here at BGU.

We always try to make it as special as possible for both our graduating students and their family and friends who are in attendance as guests.

BGU graduation ceremonies take place in the breathtaking surroundings of Lincoln Cathedral, just a stone’s throw away from campus. 

Here, we relive some of the highlights from social media of #BGUGrad2017...

> Congratulations to all of our graduating students today. We hope you're all as excited as we are! 🙌🎓🎉 [#BGUGrad2017](https://twitter.com/hashtag/BGUGrad2017?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [pic.twitter.com/JUldk4XrWZ](https://t.co/JUldk4XrWZ)
