Welcoming graduates to the #SenecaGrad community | MyNews | Seneca Students

Seneca graduates finally got to celebrate their success and achievement at Seneca’s two-day Graduation Celebration on Monday, June 27 and Tuesday, June 28.

Excitement filled the Metro Toronto Convention Centre as thousands of graduates from December 2019 to December 2021, along with their friends and family joined in on the many festivities including reconnecting with classmates and professors, making the most of the many selfie walls and enjoying the live music by award-winning DJ Clymaxxx from KiSS 92.5.

Upon arrival, each graduate received a red Seneca stole adorned with an Indigenous Sammy Sting illustration. The artwork was created by Peggy Pitawanakwat, Cultural Co-ordinator, First Peoples@Seneca.

Melissa Grelo, Seneca Broadcast Journalism graduate and co-host of CTV’s The Social, hosted both events which kicked off with opening remarks by President David Agnew followed by an inspirational address from Toronto Raptors President Masai Ujiri on June 27 and astronaut Chris Hadfield on June 28.

The City of Toronto was also #SenecaProud over the past two days as the 3D Toronto sign at Nathan Philips Square and the CN Tower were lit up in red to honour our graduates, not to mention the digital Seneca signage throughout the Union Rail station and concourse and the street teams in Seneca gear adding cheer along Front Street.

Thank you to the many students and employees who provided their support leading up to and during the event. Your commitment to our graduates ensured that they had a memorable experience.

We couldn’t have hosted the celebrations without the help of our #SenecaProud alumni that work at the many vendors used for the event, including Kelly Antonaros from GES, Vincent Diep from BBW International Inc., Stewart Nicholl from Encore and Zissis Thomaidis from the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
