Graduations are a special time for all involved, but for the Stephenson family, UQ’s December 2008 ceremonies were especially memorable.
Birgitta and Laura Stephenson on their graduation day
Mother and daughter duo Birgitta and Laura Stephenson joined more than 900 others in receiving their degrees for studies in the faculties of Arts and Social and Behavioural Sciences.
Birgitta graduated with a double major in archaeology while Laura earned a Bachelor of Psychology with honours.
“There is something reassuring about a UQ degree. It is an esteemed achievement at any age,” Birgitta said.
Birgitta and Laura join a growing family tradition, with Dad graduating from design studies in 1982 and architecture in 1985, Grandad from medicine in 1959 and second eldest daughter Eloise currently studying towards a science degree.
