At the University of Saskatchewan, our convocation marks the transition from the role of student to the holder of a credential with its accompanying rights and privileges. During the event, we also award degrees to honorary degree recipients, celebrate the academic achievements of our most talented graduates, and acknowledge our most distinguished teachers and researchers.

Convocation is a time to congratulate graduates and share stories of hard work, creativity and accomplishment—our president and honorary degree recipients tell these stories at convocation.

THE CHANCELLOR The chancellor presides over all meetings of convocation and senate, and is the ceremonial head of the university.
