Spring Convocation 2015
Our ceremony
The convocation ceremony is a calling together of the new graduates of the
University of Saskatchewan, symbolizing the historical practice of calling together all
former graduates. In current times, the major functions of convocation are the election
of representatives to university governing bodies and the admission of candidates to
degrees. The chancellor, appointed by senate as the chair of convocation, is the highest
official and spokesperson of the university.
The convocation ceremony marks the
transition from the role of student to the
holder of a degree with its accompanying
rights and privileges.
The ceremony, solemnized in the presence
of the university community and family and
friends of the graduands, consists of three
parts: a procession marking the leaving of
the old status and entering the new; the
president’s statement to the graduands,
the secretary’s petition and the chancellor’s
consent for their admission; followed by
individual presentation by a university orator
and admission by the chancellor to the
degrees to which they are entitled.
As graduates are admitted to their degrees,
a graduation hood, which has a colour
symbolizing a particular degree, is placed over
each graduate’s head.

Our 13 orators hail from all parts of campus and perform a wide range of roles throughout the university, but all
are gifted with resonant voices, pronunciation skills and share a fine attention to detail.
The post of university orator can be traced back hundreds of years to universities in the United Kingdom such as
Oxford and Cambridge. Traditionally orators served as the official voice of the university, composing letters, giving
speeches in Latin at ceremonial occasions and presenting candidates for honorary degrees.
A special thank you to Carol Greyeyes for her assistance in the orator process.
