WORDS FROM THE<br />
Dean<br />
To all of our graduating students of <strong>2021</strong> -<br />
congratulations!<br />
The road to this day has not been easy. You have<br />
had to adapt to a dramatically different educational<br />
landscape. The scope of these changes can be<br />
accurately characterized as ‘revolutionary’. You left<br />
behind paper and pencil exams and started writing<br />
exams online. Instead of meeting peers and faculty<br />
in classrooms and hallways, meetings were taking<br />
place on computers. You adapted to a new learning<br />
environment and contended with numerous and<br />
novel stressors produced by the COVID-19 virus. To<br />
face these substantial obstacles ― and successfully<br />
overcome them ― speaks loudly to your strength and<br />
capability. You are ready to face the challenges of<br />
our world in order to help transform it for the better.<br />
I would also like to recognize the support provided<br />
by family and friends. Our graduates relied on you to<br />
help them through difficult times. Thank you for being<br />
there when they needed you!<br />
To our graduates: you are ready to move on to the<br />
next phase of your life, whether it’s starting your<br />
career or pursuing further professional or scholarly<br />
endeavors. As we move towards better days,<br />
our province and country will need the values,<br />
knowledge, skills, and wisdom you have cultivated.<br />
Know that wherever you go, Campion College will<br />
always be your home! As Dean of Campion College,<br />
I want to express how proud and grateful I am to you<br />
for deciding to take this journey with us.<br />
