Environment, Sustainability and Society celebration
Proud family and friends experienced the diversity of the SUST community at the College of Sustainability鈥檚 convocation celebration on Tuesday. This year, close to 50 students graduated with an ESS major (Environment, Sustainability and Society) 鈥� across four faculties, with five different degrees and almost 20 different second majors or minors. Parents, friends and family gathered at the College in the beautiful Mona Campbell building for lunch, awards, and the presentation of a small, symbolic gift to each graduate. Each received a polished pewter 鈥渃hange鈥� pin, cast in a solar-powered kiln in Lunenburg. A few of last year鈥檚 grads were on hand to congratulate this year鈥檚 crop. Emma Norton, now the Energy Efficiency Coordinator at the Ecology Action Centre, said, 鈥淣ot only did the college give me the sustainability skills I need for my job, but the fact that I studied with so many different kinds of students from so many different departments and faculties really gave me a huge capacity to understand and work with different perceptions and opinions.鈥�
School of Nursing
This year, the school marked a new tradition. The students marshalled at the School of Nursing in their academic regalia and processed up University Avenue to the Rebecca Cohen Auditorium for convocation. Accompanied by a piper, colleagues from the IWK Health Centre and Capital Health were welcomed to come out and celebrate their newest nursing colleagues.
Departments of Music and Theatre
In advance of the launch of the School of Performing Arts, the Departments of Music and Theatre combined their annual graduation receptions into one event. Held on the fifth floor of the Arts Centre, the event celebrated graduating students and their families and presented awards from the Alumni Association (Women鈥檚 Division).
Faculty of Dentistry
At the Faculty of Dentistry's annual Graduation Dinner, students congregated one last time before walking across the stage at convocation ceremony. Along with congratulating each other, they also honoured some of the faculty members who made a difference during their four years of dental school. This year's recipient of the Dr. Wayne Garland Award for preclinical education is Dr. Mervyn Creighton (DDS'74), the recipient of the Part-Time Clinical Instructor Award is Dr. John Christie (DDS'71), and the recipient of the Dr. Gorman Doyle Award (formerly the Full-Time Clinical Instructor Award, renamed last year after the award鈥檚 six-time recipient) is Dr. George Zwicker (DDS'65).
