Largest graduating class since 1977 for Spring Convocation

This spring, the University of Manitoba conferred degrees, diplomas, and certificates on 3,040 graduates—the largest class since 1977. The 137th annual Spring Convocation ran over three days. Each session can be viewed here.

“You are a joining an inspiring and illustrious group of men and women," said President and Vice-Chancellor David Barnard, in his address to students.

Earlier in spring, the Rady College of Medicine’s convocation recognized 106 new doctors. Seventy students received Diplomas in Agriculture at the School of Agriculture’s convocation. The university presented honorary degrees to six noteworthy individuals.

Campaign Update

Front and Centre
New milestone reached for Front and Centre campaign

Campaign Chair Paul Soubry announced this week an updated fundraising total for Front and Centre. “It seems like yesterday that I took my place at Investors Group Field to announce the Front and Centre campaign” Soubry said, "$500 million... in terms of scale and scope, it was almost unimaginable. But we knew then that the people of this province, and the U of M community, would rise to the challenge."

To continue the campaign’s impact on student success, the university will double every gift made to undergraduate scholarships, and triple every gift made to graduate scholarships before June 30.

Read more about how you can change the life of a student forever as part of the Front and Centre campaign.
