The second solemn graduation ceremony will be held at KIJAC Thursday 7th May 2009, from 11:00-13:00 hours.

11 students have successfully submitted their dissertations and have thus fulfilled their requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Journalism. We expect and sincerely hope that another maximal 20 students will do so before the next ceremony that is scheduled to take place in mid October 2009.

From the KIJAC Board of Governors the following members will be present:
- Dean Will Norton Jr., representing Nebraska University, Lincoln, College of Journalism & Mass Communications (through video conference)
- Dean Lars Dahle, representing Gimlekollen School of Journalism and Communication
- Willern Houwen, KIJAC Head of School
- Professor Howard Barrel, representing Cardiff University School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies;
- Kaare Melhus, representing Gimlekollen School of Journalism and Communication, Kristiansand, Norway

Two of them are official signatories to the MA degree diploma, as well as Dean Justin Lewis, Head of School of Cardiff University School of Journalism, Media & Cultural Studies (not present).

After the ceremony there will be drinks and food.
