It’s the culmination of years of study – convocation, when students receive their degrees, cheered on by family and friends. The first day of the University of Regina’s 41st Annual Spring Convocation was held on Wednesday, June 3, at the Conexus Arts Centre. As the students proudly walked across the main stage, they were congratulated by Chancellor Jim Tomkins and President Vianne Timmons. In his remarks, Chancellor Tomkins talked about things that have changed since the very first Convocation held in Regina 50 years ago, at the Regina Campus of the University of Saskatchewan, the forerunner of today’s University of Regina.
