Some may wish to send their best to the three outstanding individuals who are being recognized with honorary degrees at the ceremonies: Alexa McDonough, Bernhard Gueller and James Cowan.

Ms. McDonough will be the honorary degree recipient at the first convocation ceremony of the weekend. The ceremony, for students in the Faculties of Architecture and Planning, Dentistry, Health Professions, Law and Graduate Studies, takes place on Saturday, Oct. 17 at 9:30 a.m.

A pioneer in Canadian politics, Ms. McDonough was chosen as leader of the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party of Nova Scotia in 1980, becoming the first woman in Canada to lead a recognized political party. During 14 years as leader, she served as critic in every area of public policy and on numerous standing and legislative committees, helping build the party into a vibrant political force. In 1994, she left provincial politics to take on the federal NDP leadership. She remained leader until 2003 and served as the Member of Parliament for the riding of Halifax until last year when she retired from electoral politics.
