The arrival of fall signals the beginning of school for many but for some it also means the ending of the educational chapter of their lives. On October 29, Durham College recognized this occasion with their annual fall convocation, marking the successful graduation of more than 1,100 students from more than 115 programs. 

The event also honoured students who earned a place on the highly regarded President’s Honour Roll as well as recipients of scholarship and leadership awards. 

Graduates from the Centre for Food and the schools of Business, IT & Management; Continuing Education; Health & Community Services; Interdisciplinary Studies & Employment Services; Justice & Emergency Services; Media, Art & Design; Science & Engineering Technology; and Skilled Trades, Apprenticeship & Renewable Technology were awarded their diplomas and certificates in front of hundreds of family and friends.

 With the fall convocation, Durham College now boasts more than 73,000 alumni over its 48-year history.
