Autumn Convocation 2024

Dear Graduates, Graduation is a time of both vision and reflection. Luckily, your time at Western has prepared you to hold two ideas in your mind simultaneously! You can reflect on the personal challenges you’ve gone through with the pandemic, your classes, and “adulting.” At the same time, you might have a picture in your mind of your future self, enjoying the work and causes you choose to pursue. I know that Western has provided you with a world-class education and significant classroom and experiential learning to help fuel your vision. I am hopeful that each of you will reflect on your inner strengths and use the adaptability and commitment you developed at Western to embrace life’s future challenges. We hope you’ll stay in touch! Whether you stay in London, or Canada, or anywhere in the world, Western will welcome you back anytime for a visit, to volunteer, or for lifelong learning. The friendships you made at Western, your graduation day, and the joy of your experiences will stay with you forever. On behalf of Western’s Board of Governors, I send you formal congratulations on your achievements and best wishes for your future! You are exceptional. We see you. You will define your own path and definition of success! Sincerely,

Sarah Shortreed Chair, Board of Governors
