The University of Winnipeg’s First Convocation for the conferring of Bachelor degrees in Arts, Science, Divinity and Theology was held on Sunday, May 26, 1968. The ceremony took place at Manitoba Centennial Centre Concert Hall with 367 students receiving degrees. Since that time, we have proudly graduated over 50 000 students.
Chancellor Robert (Bob) Silver, President & Vice-Chancellor Dr. Annette Trimbee, the Board of Regents and members of the University Senate invite faculty, staff, family, friends and the public to honour the graduating class at the 2019 Spring Convocation. The entire University community also extends congratulations to the University's honorees, award recipients and graduating class.
