Fall convocation

Sandra - with whom I worked in 2013 during my year of work in Colombia (see my blog posts from that year) - came to Seneca in January 2017 to improve her English. Afterwards she enrolled in one of our post-graduate programs (International Business) and she graduated in August - with honors (meaning all "As"). She now studies a 2nd post-graduate program (Global Logistics - Supply Chain). Today she had her graduation ceremony of the International Business program (called here in Canada the "Convocation"). It was nice to see a proud Sandra who in Colombia obtained a law degree.

It was nice to see the hundreds of graduates walk over the podium, including Sandra. Many of the graduates - like Sandra - came from elsewhere in the world. A long journey for all of them.

We also got a photo with the current Seneca college President who gave a very nice convocation speech to the graduates and to many of their parents as well as friends. The valedictorian today was a student from India who at home already had obtained a bachelor degree in computer sciences as well as and MBA. Today he celebrated graduating from an Events Management post-graduate program.
