On Nov. 9, the Carleton University community came together to celebrate the academic achievements of 1,200 graduating students.

Cheered on by friends and family gathered in the university’s Fieldhouse, the graduands proudly crossed the stage to receive their well-deserved degrees. Those unable to attend in person celebrated from afar, watching the ceremony live via online streaming.

As part of the ceremonies, OrKidstra co-founder Tina Fedeski was awarded the degree of Doctor of Music, honoris causa, in recognition of her visionary leadership and extraordinary dedication to fostering positive change for youth through the power of music.

Convocation is an opportunity to celebrate each student’s unique and inspiring journey. Take a moment to reflect on the special memories from fall convocation 2024.
