Recognizing DC’s Fall 2021 graduates

This message is being shared on behalf of Michelle Hutt, associate vice president, Academic (Enrolment and International Education). Please direct enquiries to Stephanie Pais-Matos.

Fall Convocation 2021 is fast approaching, and while the in-person ceremony has been postponed, all graduates will be invited to a future event when it is safe to do so.

To celebrate, Durham College’s (DC) #DCGrad2021 is once again going virtual with the creation of the Fall Convocation Recognition microsite, which is set to launch on Thursday, October 28. This will allow the campus community, family, and friends to come together to acknowledge the hard work and achievements of our graduates.

Before the site launches, grads and those close to them are encouraged to submit a shout-out, which can include pictures, stories and congratulatory messages. These shout-outs will be available to view when the microsite launches on October 28.

Additionally, the DC Alumni Association (DCAA) is helping to ensure the class of 2021 is acknowledged by hosting a pick-up event and providing free, DC-branded lawn signs that can be displayed at each graduate’s home, to show college pride while celebrating their success. Graduates can register for the pick-up event online.

Once the Fall Convocation Recognition microsite launches, grads will also be able to find on the site:

• Important updates, including information on how to verify their graduation online and when they can expect to receive their credential by mail.
• Links to purchase DC grad merchandise.
• Details about Alumni benefits.
• Helpful tips about “What’s Next”.
• A commemorative video featuring well wishes from college leadership.

 

All DC students and employees are encouraged to join in the convocation celebrations by sharing your messages of congratulations and encouragement.
