About 50 staff, graduates and their guests, attended a reception at the Australian Innovation Research Centre Salamanca Place on 19^th December 2007 to celebrate the inaugural Graduation Certificate of Commercialisation.  This reception followed the major graduation ceremony conducted earlier in the day at the University of Tasmania.

The Dean from Faculty of Business, Professor Gary O'Donovan presented a congratulatory address to the graduates encouraging them to follow their passions and to value their education as a passport to whatever they wanted to achieve.
