As part of the Fall 2021 convocation—which will see graduating students cross the stage for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began—McGill will confer honorary degrees to three highly talented and engaged individuals who serve as an inspiration for its community of students, professors, researchers, and staff:
“This year’s honorary doctorate recipients excel in a diverse range of areas and are a source of awe and inspiration to our community,” says McGill Principal Suzanne Fortier. “Their work is transformative, changing how we understand ourselves and our world, and helps to push the boundaries of the possible. Their leadership and generosity serve as wonderful examples for us all. It will be a pleasure to welcome them in person to receive our University’s highest honour.”
The Fall 2021 in-person fall convocation ceremonies will be held at the Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier, Place des Arts. Among the health measures that will be in place, proof of vaccination and masks will be required for graduates, families, and guests. A livestream of the ceremonies will be available here.
