Dear Graduates, Congratulations on all that you have achieved! Today will be one of those ‘memorable’ days for you as you continue your personal journey. Take it all in and celebrate. You deserve it. Your time at Western, I say with confidence, has been transformative, challenging, fulfilling, and I hope fun too! Not only are you leaving with a world class educational experience, but you have also gained life-long friends who are sharing in your success today and those successes yet to come. Your commitment, adaptability and resolve have been tested, without a doubt, as you manoeuvred through the disruption of COVID-19. We grow and learn more through challenging times and your success is a result of embracing these challenges head on. Well done! Thank you for choosing Western. While it is your outstanding effort and achievement that are being recognized today, it is also an opportunity to acknowledge the talented and dedicated faculty and staff at Western who have been at your side throughout your years of study. For most of you, deciding to come to Western meant leaving home for the first time. I hope Western and London exceeded your expectations. Some of you may even decide to remain in London as you embark on your next challenge. Regardless, you are always welcome back to Western and we hope your connection to Western remains strong. Personally, and on behalf of Western’s Board of Governors, I wish you every success in the future. Sincerely,
Keith Gibbons Chair, Board of Governors
