Spring Convocation - Students - University of Saskatchewan

President’s Message
Peter MacKinnon
I want to express a very warm welcome to the graduates, families and friends who
join us today. Convocation is the University’s most important ceremony, for it is
here that we celebrate the accomplishments of our students and the contributions
of their loved ones to their success. You should be proud of this day and of the
commitment and sacrifice that it represents.
In this our Centennial year, we at the University of Saskatchewan are especially
proud of our accomplishments over the past 100 years, and it is thanks in large part
to you, our students, who have helped us to achieve our goal of building a worldclass
institution of higher learning.
As we celebrate our successes with pride and anticipate our future with excitement,
the University of Saskatchewan is ready to expand on the original vision of our
founders. Our mission now is to engage fully in all we do, to enlighten all we serve,
and to explore all aspects of our world. We hope that you—our graduates—will
carry on this same mission as you engage, enlighten and explore within your own
new life.
We extend to you our very best wishes for the future. We hope that you will stay in
touch with us through our University of Saskatchewan alumni family, and that we
will have the opportunity to welcome you ‘home’ to our campus many times in the
years ahead.
Warmest congratulations!
