Spring Convocation will be virtual for the Class of 2021 and will be live-streamed on the Saint Mary’s University website and Facebook page on Friday, May 28, 2021 in three ceremonies:

  • 10 a.m.  Sobey School of Business and Graduate Studies in Business

  • 2 p.m.   Faculty of Science and Graduate Studies in Science

  • 4 p.m.   Faculty of Arts and Graduate Studies in Arts

All times are listed in Atlantic Daylight Time (ADT).

A virtual convocation in May ensures the university’s continued adherence to public health requirements. While we are disappointed not to be in person and on campus, we know that the livestream of convocation reaches graduates, families and friends both locally and around the world. All members of the Saint Mary’s University community are invited to watch the convocation ceremonies at the times listed above.

“I am very proud of the graduates of May 2021,” says Dr. Robert Summerby-Murray, President and Vice-Chancellor of Saint Mary’s. “In announcing a virtual convocation for May, we are also acknowledging the resilience and continued commitment of all our graduates. We know from our earlier experience with virtual convocations that the ceremonies will be warm, vibrant and celebratory. We will do our very best to highlight your significant accomplishments as you complete your academic programs.”
