University of York degree results - Day 2

THOUSANDS of graduating students were collecting their University of York degrees today in the second of three ceremonies this week.

Among those graduating is Louise Redsull, 26, who has returned to York following a month’s backpacking trip to Thailand to receive her Masters in Social Work.

Louise, who worked as a volunteer in Nepal and spent a year in Sydney as an undergraduate before coming to York, does not let the fact that she is registered blind stand in the way of her love of travelling or academic success, achieving outstanding grades.

In between studying hard and placements with voluntary organisations and Child and Mental Health Services in York, Louise also found time to qualify to take out a guide dog on her own. Throughout the second year of her two-year course, golden retriever Billie has been at her side.

Louise has been visually impaired since birth and, though very independent, found the Disability Services at the university helpful. She said: “I have computer software fitted that reads sections of textbooks out loud and I like to take my own notes so don’t need a lot of help in those respects.

“However, Disability Services helped me with things like contacting publishers for electronic versions of textbooks, getting books from the library and scanning in sections of textbooks, so provided extra help when I needed it.”

Louise will graduate at noon tomorrow.

Honorary degrees were being awarded today to neuroscientist and broadcaster Prof Colin Blakemore, mathematician Prof Gregory Margulis and Ryedale archaeologist Dominic Powlesland.
