Security advisor Jody Thomas and Indigenous artist Carey Newman joined more than 550 graduates who received degrees, certificates and diplomas at Royal Roads University’s spring 2023 convocation
A total of 557 graduates from Canada and 23 other countries received degrees, certificates and diplomas at Royal Roads University’s spring 2023 convocation on Friday, including two who were bestowed with honorary doctor of laws degrees.
Thomas previously served as deputy minister of the Department of National Defence, commissioner for the Canadian Coast Guard and COO for Passport Canada. “Her colleagues say that her attention to the well-being of those around her shows through whatever she does. She leads with strength, compassion and conviction and is working to create positive change and redefine a culture,” said Royal Roads Chancellor Nelson Chan.
“Carey Newman leads collaborative projects and approaches his work and working relationships with integrity and gentleness. He is a wonderful example of Royal Roads’ values of courage, creativity and caring, and we are so fortunate to be able to display some of his work here on campus,” said Philip Steenkamp, president and vice-chancellor.
