On October 26, more than 1,100 students received their credentials during this year’s Fall Convocation; friends, family and the college community were on hand to celebrate the achievement. Whether beginning their career or pursuing further education, these individuals have graduated knowing they have the skills they need to succeed.

In honour of the college’s 50th anniversary in 2017, two alumni from DC’s first graduating class in 1969 also attended convocation; John Krezanowski graduated from the college’s Mechanical Engineering Technician program and Ron Hooper graduated from the college’s Marketing program. Ron is also an Alumni of Distinction award recipient.

As part of the college’s commitment to building on its positive reputation, the outstanding contributions and exemplary service of retired employee Margaret Greenley was recognized through the honorary designation of vice-president emeritus.
