"We are excited to honour these inspiring individuals who have left indelible marks in their respective fields, making positive change possible," says OCAD U's President and Vice-Chancellor Ana Serrano. "These honorands all share the same exceptional passion and commitment to driving meaningful, long-lasting impact that we encourage at OCAD U."

The honorands will join more than 700 students from OCAD U's three faculties and Graduate Studies who will be receiving their diplomas at Roy Thomson Hall.
