In 2020, 5,625 UM grads celebrated Convocation safely at home. While we will miss celebrating in person, virtual convocation does provide the unique opportunity to share the experience with family and friends across the country and elsewhere in the world. The online platform also offers innovative ways to mark the occasion. You will be able to take part in activities like a digital photo booth, faculty chat rooms, interactive exhibits, a digital yearbook and even virtually walk through a gallery showcasing this year’s medal winners.
Further details will be shared with grads regarding how to best take advantage of the new event platform and have the best virtual Convocation experience possible. Learn more at umanitoba.ca/convocation.
