Fall Convocation 2023 was a joyful celebration of dedication, achievement, and fresh beginnings at the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½. On Nov. 16, in the heart of the Jack Simpson Gym, a crowd of cheering family and friends watched as over 1,100 graduands crossed the stage in two ceremonies, transitioning from their student days into proud ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ alumni.
While celebrating the achievements of the Class of 2023, three individuals who have made significant contributions to the university and society were also honoured.
Colleen Bangs, BA ’03, senior director of Alumni Engagement at ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½, was awarded the Order of the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½. She was recognized for her transformative leadership and consistent dedication to creating a positive work environment and reinforcing community ties.
Honorary degrees were bestowed upon twin sisters Sara Quin and Tegan Quin. This Calgary-born, award-winning indie rock duo, known as Tegan and Sara, shared a powerful commencement address about their career journey and their dedication to LGBTQ+ women and girls, earning them a standing ovation.
