A proud moment during an important journey: Convocation is one of the most meaningful traditions at the University of Saskatchewan (USask)—a time for all of us to come together and celebrate the dedication, perseverance, and success of our students.

On Nov. 10, nearly 1,000 USask students crossed the stage at Merlis Belsher Place to officially become graduates, joining a global network of more than 180,000 USask alumni who are making an impact in Saskatchewan, across Canada, and around the world. 

These ceremonies give us the chance to show how proud we are of everything they have achieved. Take a look at some of the day's special moments:

The ceremonies included the celebration of award recipients and the conferral of an honorary degree to USask alumnus Tim Gitzel. Through his leadership in Canada's energy sector and his commitment to community service, Gitzel's career demonstrates how ideas, expertise, and leadership developed in Saskatchewan can create impact far beyond provincial borders.
