The first day of Brandon University’s expanded Convocation 2022 celebrated this year’s graduates from the Faculties of Science and Education and the School of Music with two ceremonies today and welcomed back graduates from 2021 and 2020 whose own celebrations had been curtailed by the pandemic.
Reflections on the challenges of the pandemic and what it means for the future were common themes today.
Brandon University returns to an in-person Convocation this week with one of its largest graduating classes ever.
A total of 641 students will receive their degrees at Spring Convocation 2022, a two-day celebration of academic achievement with four separate ceremonies.

Valedictorians have been selected from every faculty and the School of Music, with the Faculty of Education selecting two this year.
Some of Brandon University’s best will be honoured at Convocation 2022 later this month.
