Proud class of 2005

On June 1 and 2, over 1,400 students from Douglas College's seven Faculties received
their hard-earned diplomas, associate degrees, certificates and citations. Of those
students, 140 of them also received the Gold Cord Award for placing in the top 10
percent of their class.

Six ceremonies marked the occasion, with receptions held outdoors at the Ceremonial
Entrance between the College and the Student's Union. This was a change from the three
ceremonies of past years followed by a reception in the Concourse.

"The success of graduation this year was beyond our expectations,” says Christine Kerr,
Graduation Coordinator. "The words ‘thank you’ don't even begin to cover it when it
comes to everyone who helped out with graduation-it was really a group effort.”
