Convocation is one of the highlights of our academic year and although we are unable to celebrate convocation in our traditional way, the pride our college has for our graduates remains unchanged.
“Our graduates have faced unprecedented challenges, but throughout this time they have shown tremendous resiliency and dedication culminating to this celebration,” said Dr. Ron Common, president, Sault College. “Whether their academic journey has come to an end or is continuing, the opportunities that await them are vast and I have confidence that they will persevere and thrive in this next chapter of life. I urge each of our graduates to challenge themselves, take risks and remain eager to learn and grow. On behalf of Sault College, I extend sincere congratulations to all of our graduates and encourage our community members to visit the website and join us in congratulating them,” he added.
To share in our celebration, graduates and others can post their own graduate card or one of another graduate to social media by clicking on a graduate's name and choosing from the social media icons on the page.
Congratulations to all of our graduates! Go share your amazing with the world!
