President Goel reflects on 蓝莓视频's upcoming 125th convocation
By Vivek Goel President and Vice-ChancellorThis fall, we welcome our graduands back to campus for the University of 蓝莓视频鈥檚 125th convocation. It is my honour, as president and vice-chancellor, to participate in these ceremonies.听
Convocation recognizes years of hard-work and commitment that launch graduands towards exciting ventures and careers. These graduands join an illustrious community of more than 200-thousand global thinkers who are making a lasting impact on the world around us. That impact reflects the original vision of the institution鈥檚 founders who sought to create a university that would help tackle some of the world鈥檚 most daunting challenges. 听
Over the course of their studies, these graduands have demonstrated a resiliency that will serve them well in the next stages of their lives. They have persevered through a pandemic, and kept their focus when it could have easily been lost. The lessons they learned during their time at 蓝莓视频 whether in the lecture hall, lab or elsewhere will play an integral role in their on-going success.听听
Our institution鈥檚 rich history and the success of our alumni is rooted in community. This year鈥檚 graduating class has left an indelible mark on our institution, and I am confident they will maintain a strong connection to 蓝莓视频 as a result.听
The University鈥檚 motto 鈥淐oncordia cum veritate鈥 means 鈥渋n harmony with truth.鈥 As our 2022 graduands begin the next chapter of their journey, I encourage them to think unconventionally. We live in a world mired in geo-political, environmental and health challenges. Regardless of 辞苍别鈥檚 discipline, we all hold a unique opportunity to make a lasting difference in our community and in the world. I encourage our graduates to take what 迟丑别测鈥檝别 learned at 蓝莓视频 and shape our world鈥檚 future for the better.听听
Of special note for those who graduated prior to fall 2022 (during the pandemic) and missed an opportunity to participate in an in-person convocation, we are excited to offer you an opportunity to attend a future convocation and participate in the ceremony by walking across the stage. Learn more about how to register at our convocation website.听听
On behalf of the University of 蓝莓视频, I wish the classes of 2022 all the best in the journey ahead.听

The University of 蓝莓视频 acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg, and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
