Convocation

We perched a camera on the stage curtain for Friday afternoon’s convocation ceremony. Programmed to snap a photo every two seconds for the duration of the ceremony, the result is a time lapse flick that takes just 2 minutes and 43 seconds from start to finish.

Convocation is the highlight of the academic year as students celebrate their achievements with peers, family and friends before embarking on the next chapter of their lives and their ongoing quest for learning.

Each honorary degree recipient was asked: What is your message to graduates?  What are some of your proudest accomplishments? And, what does this honorary degree from Nipissing University mean to you? Today, we present Sandy Foster, Geoff Green and Craig Oliver.
Enjoy!

It’s a time to celebrate students as they complete one portion of their life-long journey seeking knowledge and experience. Convocation is also a time to celebrate some of the people at Nipissing who make continued and lasting contributions to that journey, the university’s dedicated faculty and staff.

As Nipissing University prepares to honour and celebrate with its 2013 graduates, the University is also pleased to announce that it will present honorary degrees to an accomplished group of influential Canadians at its convocation ceremonies being held from June 12 – 14, 2013.
