Board of Governors Posted on December 15, 2016 at 2:00 pm. There were so many incredible events but I always cherished the Awards and Graduation ceremonies. It was always an incredible honour to shake the hand of each and every graduate in attendance knowing that they worked diligently with the support of friends and family to meet the very high standards of Durham College faculty. I loved watching students hugging their professors as they exited the stage, huge smiles on faces and a genuine care and concern for every student’s success was always evident. The bag pipes being played were always such a lovely touch. SHARE:
