Spring Convocation 2014
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.

HONOUR SONG
These are special songs to demonstrate respect
for an individual or group in recognition of
their accomplishments such as a return from
military service or other events. In some families,
individuals have their own song, which is sung for
them when they are being honoured.

Volunteer orators step up
to the microphone
Thirteen orators have been selected through an audition
process to read out the names of degree recipients as they
receive their parchments. The recruits hail from all parts
of campus and perform a wide range of roles throughout
the U of S, but all are gifted with resonant voices, fine
pronunciation skills and share a great 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 the Drama Department and Natasha
Martina for their assistance in the orator process.
