Ontario Tech Fall Convocation will take place on Thursday, October 15, celebrating the university’s newest graduates and recognizing two honorary degree recipients.
The Oshawa university announced the ceremony on October 6. The event will mark the transition of graduating students into Ontario Tech’s alumni community.
Two honorary degree recipients named
Kevin Chan, a senior director at Meta, will receive an honorary degree for contributions to technology, public policy, civic engagement, responsible innovation and public service.
Laura Elliott, a school-board advisor and education-sector leader, will be honoured for work in education, public service and university governance. Ontario Tech also cited her longstanding commitment to student success.
The university said the recipients’ service spans civic engagement, education, technology and governance.
Attendance requires registration
The Ontario Tech Fall Convocation is a ticketed event, and all in-person attendees must be registered. The university has posted ceremony schedules and information for graduates and guests on its convocation website.
People who cannot attend in person will be able to watch the ceremonies through the university’s online livestream page.
Ontario Tech described convocation as both an academic milestone and the start of a new chapter for graduates. The university said students leave with knowledge, relationships and experience they can apply in technology, community service and other fields.
