Convocation

Nipissing University is celebrating five individuals with  honorary degrees during Convocation 2019, taking place from June 11-13th at the Robert J. Surtees Student Athletics Centre at Nipissing University.

Today, we are pleased to present Dr. Paul Kennedy who was conferred Nipissing’s highest distinction, an honorary degree, during the convocation ceremony in North Bay on June 8, 2018.

Major Brenda Tinsley who was conferred Nipissing’s highest distinction, an honorary degree, during the convocation ceremony in North Bay on June 7, 2018.

The graduates are ready to celebrate. The gowns and hoods and ironed and folded, the Surtees Centre is polished and the stage is set. Valedictory addresses are getting final tweaks. It’s convocation time.

The design of Nipissing University’s mace is a complex mixture of artistry and power. Its presence represents the authority vested in the University to grant degrees, yet its design signifies more than the right to certify students as knowledgeable. It incorporates all the effort, history and tradition that surround both the site of and the vision for the University.
