IN a fitting reflection of the year itself, 2026 students from across the Pacific graduated from the University of the South Pacific at the Vodafone Arena in Suva yesterday.

The USP pro-chancellor and chair of council, Siosiua Tuitalukua Tupou Utoikamanu, congratulated the graduates and challenged them to reflect on their role in shaping the future.

“You graduate into a world marked by climate uncertainty, geopolitical tension, technological disruption and profound social change,” he said.

“Yet, these challenges do not diminish your future – they define the importance of your generation.”
