On Monday, June 1st at 2:30 pm, our graduating class of 163 Bachelor, Master’s, and PhD in Computing students would be walking the stage in Grant Hall for their convocation ceremony. This year, due to the pandemic, we are sending off our graduates and welcoming them as our alumni remotely. We look forward to offering them a traditional ceremony in the future. Until then, watch the video message below from members of our School offering their congratulations.
A message from the Director to the Queen’s School of Computing graduating class of 2020.
Today is your day, a day to celebrate all that you have accomplished during your studies at Queen’s University. You have worked so hard over the past few years. You gained educational and life experiences, got involved in campus activities, went on internships and worked multiple jobs and managed your time and finances. Today we are so proud of all of you.
Reflecting on your time in studies
Together, we have encountered many milestones:
- We celebrated 50 years as a School.
- We developed a strategic plan focused on delivering exceptional discovery-based learning to students to ensure that they are successful computer scientists and professionals with a well-balanced educational experience.
- We attended new programs and courses that incorporated artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, biomedical informatics, and data analytics.
- We welcomed new faculty members who brought diverse research and expertise to our department.
- We studied in new collaborative labs and learning spaces.
- We overcame the obstacles of a global pandemic.
Today we recognize you as graduates and welcome you to our community of alumni. It might not be via the ceremony that we all expected when you began your studies here, but it does not change the significance of this milestone.
