SPRING 2012 CONVOCATION

To our students, we make a promise:

A promise to do our best, so they can be their best. A promise to foster exploration, to share ideas and information, to teach but also to learn. A promise to build the buildings, acquire the technology, cultivate the partnerships and welcome the people essential to advancing an environment that excites and ignites learning. A promise to create an environment where professors and students are colleagues and everyone grows together, an environment that recognizes the power of every student's dream. And helps that dream come true. THE HISTORY OF CONVOCATION AND ACADEMIC DRESS

Our University of Lethbridge Convocation is a ceremony steeped in academic ceremonial tradition. Convocation, from the Latin convocatio (a calling together), refers to an academic assembly summoned by the Chancellor.

From Oxford to Lethbridge, the crucial role of favourable 'town and gown relations' continues to preoccupy university Chancellors. At the University of Lethbridge, the Chancellor is both 'of the community' and 'in the community' of southern Alberta. The Chancellor's powers, as articulated in the Post- secondary Learning Act, are somewhat more circumscribed than they were in medieval England! Nevertheless, the Chancellor functions as Chair of the University Senate, is the ultimate authority for the conferral of academic and honorary degrees, and presides over all University convocations.

The first Convocation of the University of Lethbridge was held on May 18, 1968 in Southminster United Church. It included Further information regarding the history of the University of the installation of both the University's first Chancellor, Judge Lethbridge Convocation can be found at: www.uleth.ca/ross/ LS.
