CUC Sends 55 Graduates into the World

Fifty-five students received bachelor's degrees at Sunday's commencement service.  The weekend's printed program including a list of all activities and graduates can be found here.

Although graduating seniors on our campus have worn caps and gowns and marched for 66 years, it has only been since 1992 that CUC has been granting its own degrees accredited by the Province of Alberta.  In 1992 a handful of students received three-year Bachelor of Arts degrees in English, Music or Religious Studies.  Twenty years later this Sunday's graduates represented 17 areas of study: Adventure based Counselling, Behavioural Science, biology, Business Administration, elementary Education, English, General Studies, History and Political Science, International Studies, Music, Music Performance, International Health and Wilderness Studies, Outdoor Adventure Business Studies, Psychology, Religious Studies, Secondary Education and Wellness Management.  With choices in majors, concentrations, tracks, specializations and applied emphases, students may now choose from 40 degree options.
It all began Sunday morning with the graduates, faculty & staff and platform
party donning their robes in the Administration Building then marching
to the church.
Dr. Hyveth Williams gave the commencement address and urged students not to sell their birthright to satisfy their bellyache.
The graduates sat in the first five rows of the sanctuary.  Faculty and staff
occupied the choir loft.
