Scene, Heard and Shared: the Best Moments from Algonquin’s Spring Convocation

Posted on Thursday, June 29th, 2017

Just as every picture tells a story, every tweet and Instagram post tells a tale.

Spring convocation has come and gone, but its memorable moments – from funny to family – were captured and shared on social media by grads, parents and College staff. We showcased the best of the bunch to present our five reasons to feel Algonquin pride…

1. Wavin’ flag: Our grads don’t hold back their excitement.

Newly minted graduates! #Algonquin2017

2. Full minds, fuller stomachs: we recognize how hungry students can get while they’re waiting to cross the stage.

We’ve got them covered.

3. We are family: no one showed their pride more than AC grad supporters!

Thank you to my wonderful Ottawa family who threw me a surprise graduation party tonight! I was not expecting it at all and it meant so much to me. You're such wonderful people that I'm blessed to have in my life. Thank you for sharing this milestone with me and for showing me that even though we may be separated by distance, our friendships will always remain strong ??? #graduation #party #surprise #balloons #happy #celebration #friends #family #Ottawa #friendship #milestone #memories #thankful #distance #extendedfamily #love #wonderful #algonquin2017

4. Staying connected: our grads were supported from near and far.

Couldn't be in Ottawa to watch my "little" brother @brendonmillerr graduate, but watching the live stream while at work was pretty sweet! Gotta love having two computer monitors! #algonquin2017 #proudbigsister

So happy that I can be at work and watch my little brother graduate, even if it is on a live stream! ?#Algonquin2017
