Information for 2021 and 2020 Graduates

Convocation Celebration

Trent University is pleased to announce in-person convocation celebrations for alumni who were recognized virtually through Grad from Your Pad events. The in-person convocation will be held at the Tribute Communities Centre for all Durham GTA graduates, including Master of Management graduates, on June 2 at 10:00 a.m. Alumni who graduated between Fall 2019 and Spring 2021, together with their guests, are invited to attend these ceremonies.

These ceremonies will not be organized by faculty, degree or year. Alums will be given the exciting opportunity to celebrate with their friends, regardless of their majors. Traditional elements like an academic procession and crossing the stage in regalia will still be included.
