Red Deer College’s 54th Convocation Takes Place June 1st
On Friday, June 1, graduating students will cross the stage during RDC’s 54th Convocation Ceremonies at Westerner Park in Red Deer.
This year, 1,950 RDC students are eligible to graduate. Of the eligible graduates, 673 studied in the School of Trades & Manufacturing Technologies, with the remainder completing programming in RDC’s Donald School of Business, School of Arts & Sciences, School of Continuing Education, School of Creative Arts, School of Education and School of Health Sciences.
More than 600 students applied to attend the Convocation ceremonies on June 1, and graduates will be granted certificates, diplomas and degrees. 2018 also marks the first graduating classes for two new RDC programs: the Media Studies & Professional Communication Diploma and the Human Resources Management Graduate Certificate.
During the ceremonies, RDC will recognize two deserving students with special honours:
• The Governor General’s Academic Medal (Collegiate Bronze Level) is presented to the student with the highest academic standing after completing the final year of a diploma-level post-secondary program.
• The RDC Foundation Outstanding Student recognizes a student who demonstrated outstanding leadership and commitment to RDC through participation in, and contribution to, the College.
RDC will also bestow an Honorary Degree upon a notable individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the advancement of social, cultural or economic development in a way that has had significant impact for RDC, central Alberta and beyond. This will be the fourth Honorary Degree granted by RDC, with Dr. Bernie Pauly, Mr. Morris Flewwelling and Mr. Tim Tamashiro receiving degrees at previous Convocation Ceremonies.
As part of the ceremonies, Red Deer College will celebrate with 17 Indigenous graduates who have chosen to be recognized with an Indigenous Student Convocation Stole. The blue stole was created with input from several Indigenous communities, and it acknowledges the students’ academic achievements and the completion of their programs of study at RDC.
