Lakehead University will celebrate the achievements of over 1,900 graduates at its Thunder Bay campus convocation ceremonies on May 30 and 31.
"I am so proud of our graduates," said President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Gillian Siddall. "Over the last four years they have experienced an unprecedented educational journey - one of extreme challenges but also immense victories. These experiences have shaped who they are today and who they will be in the world. Congratulations to the class of 2024!"
In addition to celebrating the graduating class of 2024, Lakehead will honour five exceptional individuals for their significant contributions to their fields and communities.
Rosie Mosquito, Dr. Samantha Nutt and Patricia Ningewance Nadeau will each be conferred an honorary degree for their extraordinary achievements and remarkable service. Murray Walberg and Dr. Jaroslav Kotalik will each be named a Fellow of the University for their unique contributions to the growth and development of the university.
"The Lakehead community is looking forward to acknowledging the life's work of this year's honorary degree recipients and fellows - people who have made vital contributions to their local and global communities," said Dr. Siddall. "We look forward to hearing from our honorary degree recipients, who will share their wisdom with our graduates as they move on to the next phase of their lives."
