Grant Hall was a busy place on  Friday, May 24, as Day 2 of Spring Convocation featured three ceremonies.

A highlight of the day was the conferring of an honorary degree upon Shelagh Rogers (Artsci’77), an award-winning Canadian broadcast journalist and the 11th chancellor of the University of Victoria. 

Rogers is best known for her work with the CBC and is currently the host and producer of CBC Radio One’s The Next Chapter. She got her start in broadcasting at CFRC, the campus radio station of Queen’s University, while she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Art History.

Queen’s is presenting a total of seven honorary degrees during convocation.

The next two ceremonies will be held on Monday, June 3. Overall, a total of 18 ceremonies are being held for Spring Convocation, with the final one being held Wednesday, June 12.

Live ceremony feeds will begin approximately 15 minutes before the scheduled start of each ceremony. The full schedule of the ceremonies is available online.

More information about Convocation at Queen's is available on the website of the Office of the University Registrar.
