Convocation has concluded for another year at Nipissing University. Wrapping up yesterday in Brantford, with some 200 graduates from the collaborative concurrent Bachelor of Education Program crossing the stage at the Sanderson Centre to receive their degrees, convocation offered much to celebrate.

Convocation is a powerful attractant, bringing students back to campus to celebrate their accomplishments with peers and family. The trip to campus is a bit different for Michelle Johnson-Greaux, who travelled the 3,580 km from her home on the island of St. Kitts in the Caribbean Sea to receive her Bachelor of Commerce degree (BComm) from Nipissing.

Nipissing University will honour Edmund Metatawabin, Graeme Murray, Tom Hedican, Commissioner J.V.N (Vince) Hawkes, Susan Nelles Pine and Dr. Colin Simpson with honorary degrees.
