THE last of this week’s degree ceremony celebrations took place at the University of York today.

Thousands of people people have graduated from the university this week at ceremonies held over three days in the campus’s Central Hall.

Joining the graduating students receiving their degrees on stage today was the university’s own Emerita Professor, Felicity Riddy, who received an honorary degree.

Prof Riddy was York’s first woman deputy vice-chancellor and played a major role in developing the academic plans, funding and support for the university’s campus expansion at Heslington East.

In particular, she led the development of the new department of theatre, film and television and the centre for applied human rights.

Prof Riddy joined the university’s English department in 1988, becoming a professor in 1991. She was director of the university’s interdisciplinary centre for medieval studies in the mid-1990s, became a pro-vice-chancellor in 2000 and then deputy vice-chancellor from 2002 until 2007.
