Convocation 2022 tells a story of dedication, camaraderie, new experiences, and great accomplishments as Trent University honoured the graduating classes of 2022, 2021, and 2020 during its first in-person convocation event in three years.

With congratulatory words from the University’s chancellor and senior administration, inspiring messages from honorary degree recipients, and even a marriage proposal, convocation was marked by unforgettable moments. Milestones included celebrating over 2,400 members of the 2022 graduating class, conferring degrees on Trent’s largest number of master’s and Ph.D. students, the first class of graduates from three new programs, and a record-high number of graduating students from Trent’s School of Business.

In wrapping up the final ceremony in the series, Julie Davis, vice-president of External Relations & Development at Trent, congratulated the new alumni and encouraged them to keep in touch, “no matter where you go, know that you are part of the Trent family. There are 60,000 people who have graduated with a Trent degree and you are going to meet them in the strangest places – and they are going to be there for you. Please keep in touch!”
