Highlights from Convocation 2019

Langara’s 53rd Convocation Ceremonies were held at the Orpheum Theatre, on June 20 and 21, 2019. Over the course of four ceremonies a record number of graduands – over 1300 – crossed the Orpheum’s classic stage.

The graduand processions were led by piper Mike MacDonald, followed by the faculty and platform party led by Musqueam singer and drummer Christie Lee Charles. Singer Synthia Yusuf opened each event with her rendition of the national anthem, Oh Canada.

Graduation awards were presented to seven graduates for their outstanding academic achievements and commitment to community service.

Langara proudly announced the conferral of the 2019 Emeritus Awards. Emeritus is an honourary title given to retired faculty or professional staff to recognize their outstanding contribution to teaching, service, or leadership in an organization. This year’s recipients were:

Deanna Douglas – Vice-President Emerita, Administration and Finance
Cheryl McKeeman – Faculty Emerita, Mathematics and Statistics
Peter Norwood – Faculty Emeritus, Langara School of Management

Langara Alumni & Community Engagement, International Education, and the Langara School of Management capped off the day’s festivities with a reception for all graduates and their families.
