Peter MacKinnon

I want to express a very warm welcome to the graduates, families and friends who join us today. Convocation is the University’s most important ceremony, for it is here that we celebrate the accomplishments of our students and the contributions of their loved ones to their success. You should be proud of this day and of the commitment and sacrifice that it represents.

In this our Centennial year, we at the University of Saskatchewan are especially proud of our accomplishments over the past 100 years, and it is thanks in large part to you, our students, who have helped us to achieve our goal of building a world- class institution of higher learning.

As we celebrate our successes with pride and anticipate our future with excitement, the University of Saskatchewan is ready to expand on the original vision of our founders. Our mission now is to engage fully in all we do, to enlighten all we serve, and to explore all aspects of our world. We hope that you—our graduates—will carry on this same mission as you engage, enlighten and explore within your own new life.

We extend to you our very best wishes for the future. We hope that you will stay in touch with us through our University of Saskatchewan alumni family, and that we will have the opportunity to welcome you ‘home’ to our campus many times in the years ahead.

Warmest congratulations!

heather magotiaux

Convocation is a great opportunity to reflect on our past accomplishments and look to the future. The leaders and builders of University of Saskatchewan had great vision and expectations for the U of S. I think that you would agree that our University has emerged as a great Canadian university and, in areas of academic preeminence, we are recognized as world leaders. The University of Saskatchewan is a place where great minds meet.

As the graduates receive their degrees today, they join a larger community of over 120,000 U of S alumni worldwide. For more than 100 years, our graduates have become leaders in their chosen professions and enhanced the profile and reputation of the University of Saskatchewan. This responsibility has been passed to you to become our new leaders and innovators. Create a legacy that future U of S students and alumni can celebrate over the next century. And don’t forget to stay connected with your University, your College and your classmates during your lifelong journey.

Use your energy and passion to live and build well and continue to develop your great mind. Congratulations to the class of 2008.

University of Saskatchewan 7 Spring Convocation 2008 he word “Convocation” arises from the Latin “cum” meaning “together,” T and “vocare” meaning “to call.” Our Convocation ceremony is a calling together of the new graduates of the University of Saskatchewan, symbolizing the historical practice of calling together all former graduates. In current times, the major functions of Convocation are the election of representatives to University governing onvocaion bodies and the admission of candidates to degrees. The Chancellor, elected by Convocation as its Chair, is the highest official and spokesperson of the University. The ConvocationC ceremony marks the transition from the role of student to the holder of a degree with its accompanying rights and privileges.

The ceremony, solemnized in the presence of the University community and family and friends of the graduands, consists of three parts: a procession marking the leaving of the old status and entering the new; the President’s statement to the graduands, the Secretary’s petition and the Chancellor’s consent for their admission; followed by individual presentation by their Dean and admission by the Chancellor to the degrees to which they are entitled. As graduates are admitted to their degrees, a graduation hood, which has a colour symbolizing a particular degree, is placed over each graduate’s head. Entrance the petition “Eminent Chancellor, on behalf of The members of Convocation in The University Secretary on behalf the Faculty of ______, I present to their academic robes march in of all the Candidates, addresses you these Scholars and ask that you procession into the ceremony in the Chancellor and Senate in these will confer on them the degree of the following order: Graduands words: ______.” in the order in which their degrees are to be conferred; “Eminent Chancellor, President, I As the Dean speaks the candidate’s Faculty; Board of Governors; present to you the petition that the name in full, the candidate moves Senate; Guests of Honour; The candidates to be named, having forward in front of the Chancellor.
