On June 1st, Bishop's University Chancellor Daniel Fournier will preside over the 197th Convocation ceremony, in which degrees will be conferred on over 600 graduates for the Class of 2024.
"Convocation marks an important milestone for all Bishop's University graduates, a memorable life event for students who have been the heart of our community in recent years," remarks Bishop's University Chancellor Daniel Fournier. "They are now ready to face the new challenges that await them, and we are confident that they are well prepared to do so."
Convocation is also an occasion to recognize the outstanding achievements of deserving individuals, by conferring Doctorates in Civil Law (D.C.L.) upon Honorands - who this year include Elisapie, Inuk singer-songwriter, director and activist, Dr. George Siber '66, internationally recognized vaccine expert, and the Community of the Eastern Townships, represented by the Mobilization Committee made up of Claude Belleau, Louise Bourgault, Yannick Crack, Chantal Lessard and Jean Perrault created to support Bishop's during the tuition crisis. The ceremony will also highlight the contribution of recipients of academic excellence and community engagement awards.
