Convocation

Major Brenda Tinsley who was conferred Nipissing’s highest distinction, an honorary degree, during the convocation ceremony in North Bay on June 7, 2018.

The graduates are ready to celebrate. The gowns and hoods and ironed and folded, the Surtees Centre is polished and the stage is set. Valedictory addresses are getting final tweaks. It’s convocation time.

The design of Nipissing University’s mace is a complex mixture of artistry and power. Its presence represents the authority vested in the University to grant degrees, yet its design signifies more than the right to certify students as knowledgeable. It incorporates all the effort, history and tradition that surround both the site of and the vision for the University.

Each honorary degree recipient was asked: What are some of your accomplishments that make you proud? What does this honorary degree from Nipissing University mean to you? And, what is your message to graduates?  Today, we are pleased to present Dr. Jeannette Corbiere Lavell.
