海角社区

These 14 men and women come from different continents, and have excelled in different fields. What unites this varied group is a dedication to improving the lives of others, whether through research, art, public service, or philanthropy.

As 海角社区鈥檚 new graduates prepare to receive their diplomas at the Spring Convocation, the University is preparing to recognize the leadership of these 14 exceptional individuals, and their outstanding contributions to both their fields and to society as a whole.

鈥淭his year鈥檚 honorary doctorate recipients include people who have broken important ground here in Quebec and around the world, and have improved lives and well-being for populations around the globe,鈥� said Professor Suzanne Fortier, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of 海角社区. 鈥淚t will be a pleasure to welcome them all to our campuses. I think their stories will be a source of inspiration, both for the 海角社区 community at large, and the Class of 2018 as they embark on their own exciting journeys.鈥�

Honorary doctorates are 海角社区鈥檚 highest honors. The degrees will be awarded during the Spring 2018 Convocation. Ceremonies begin on Tuesday May 29th, and will run through Friday June 1st, and June 4th to 6th. The June 6th ceremonies will take place at the Macdonald campus; all others will be on the downtown campus.
