Our Events
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Met Awards Gala
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Met Awards Gala, hosted on behalf of Human Resources, is a high-profile recognition event that brings Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµâ€™s leadership together to celebrate the accomplishments of our staff and faculty members and long service milestone recipients.

Convocation
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµâ€™s convocation ceremonies are a key milestone in a student’s academic career - an achievement worth celebrating on a grand stage in the Mattamy Athletic Centre. The university’s senior leadership, faculty and staff come together to celebrate the accomplishments of our students.
Ceremonies are held twice a year in spring (June) and fall (October). For more information on upcoming convocation ceremonies, please visit the convocation website.
Pow Wow
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµâ€™s Pow Wow is a traditional, social Indigenous gathering that brings together members of the campus and wider community for a day of dancing and the celebration of Indigenous culture. First held in 1998—making Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ the first university in Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ to host a Pow Wow—this annual event reflects our ongoing commitment to community engagement and the honouring of Indigenous traditions.
Remembrance Day
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµâ€™s Remembrance Day ceremony takes place every November, honouring lives lost due to acts of war and creating a respectful space for all those who have been impacted by global conflict in the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ community.
