– She:kon Skennen kowa gen? Santee Smith Tekaronhiáhkhwa ionyats, Konkwehon:we, Kahnyen’kehàka, Six Nations of the Grand River Territory.

[Translation: My name is Santee Smith – Picking Up The Sky, I’m an Onkwehon:we womxn from the Kahnyen’kehàka/Mohawk Nation, Six Nations of the Grand River Territory.]

As Chancellor and on behalf of McMaster University, it is my pleasure and honour to be celebrating in this milestone achievement with you. Congratulations, Io ianere, to the graduating class of 2020.

Your graduation marks the culmination of a tremendous amount of time and energy in realizing your academic goals.

As 2020, school year, life, graduation have taken radical shifts due to the global pandemic, my sincere congratulations on your ability to stay focused in completing your studies.

COVID-19 is teaching us to pause and focus on our individual and collective wellbeing. It is demonstrating our interconnectivity and interdependence and how our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual and community health are so intricately interwoven. It is educating us to be humble in the immensity of the natural world, and that the natural world will always be our greatest instructor.

Our interconnectivity can also be witnessed at McMaster’s Centre for Continuing Education programs as our students come from Turtle Island, this land also known as Canada, and from around the world. So congratulations to you all wherever you may be tuning in from.

Today we cannot celebrate together physically, but we can unite our intentions of gratitude and love in an effort to bring our minds together as one and work collectively in healthy ways for the solidarity and the strength for all people. Today we can put into practice compassion and tearing down ignorance and building peace and equity.

Like you, I’m a lifelong learner. And like you, I’ve been proactive in carving my pathway, a pathway that has not been linear, that’s had twists and turns and full stops, but we continue to move forward. In the effort to help us move forward, I would like to acknowledge your family, friends, colleagues, coworkers, teachers, and mentors that have helped you along the way.

McMaster is grateful to you for your commitment to learning and unlearning as we are all charged to move forward in rebuilding our environments and communities with sustainability and care and with transformative thinking and actions that will benefit the next seven generations.

So once again, congratulations to you all, continued success for the future, and welcome to the McMaster alumni family.

Please take time to celebrate your achievements. Io ianere, congratulations.

– Hello graduates of 2020.

Every year graduation is a special event. This year, graduation is particularly special. As you know, the arrival of a new year on January the 1st, 2020 did not afford us perfect or 2020 vision into the realities of March when a global pandemic began to affect Canada and led to drastic changes in how we live, work and study. 2020 has been marked by exceptional struggle around the world as individuals and groups have confronted issues of diversity and difference.

To those of you who have been negatively affected by the events of 2020 in relation to work, family life or identity, please accept my sincerest wishes for stability, health and wellness as we move forward and through the challenges of these unprecedented times.

To all of you, I cannot overstate how proud McMaster Continuing Education is of you today. You chose to soldier on with your studies and to achieve goals that will enhance your career and broader future. And never in the history of learning has this kind of resolve been more important. It is indicative of what Canada needs to rebuild a strong economic foundation, foster healthy communities and better individual lives. Importantly, this is not just my personal opinion. Instead, government, industry and workplace analysts are agreed in their message that continuing education, just in time training and lifelong learning are central to the social and economic rehabilitation we are now embarked on.

You already understand the criticality of ongoing learning and what it takes to be a successful adult learner. You know firsthand that career–oriented learning can be achieved through courses and programs made possible through the judicious use of educational technologies. In fact, you were probably online before March 2020. Simply put, the class of 2020 is a class of trailblazers.

In addition to the personal resolve I have already mentioned, being an effective learner requires the support of a team. Your team has probably included family members, supportive colleagues, your classmates and instructors, and various members of the McMaster Continuing Education team. While your team cannot gather in person today to celebrate your accomplishments, every member of the team is here in spirit and invites you to take a big virtual bow for a job well done.

Today as you explore this graduation microsite, you will discover some stories to inspire you. In addition to recognizing those in the class of 2020 who have distinguished themselves through high scores in their programs, we also recognize other students, instructors and friends of Continuing Education who have done terrific things in their support or pursuit of learning. To each of these persons, I extend heartfelt wishes and thanks. Learning is always an experience of good people working together for a common good. I also want to take a minute to thank the McMaster Association of Part-Time Students, or MAPS, for making many of today’s awards possible.

So what does the future hold? While we all wish for greater certainty, I would suggest that we know three things.

One, that work and life will continue to require us to be flexible and adaptable. Two, that continuous learning, re-skilling and up-skilling will be imperatives in our new emerging world. And three, that we are all members of one earth, and that what we think, say and do affects others not only in our immediate circles but around the world.

Please remember that McMaster Continuing Education and the McMaster alumni family are here for you. Perhaps there is more learning on your horizon, or you may simply want to touch base with the university.

Be sure to reach out. We will be delighted to hear from you. And finally, there is no doubt about it. This day is about you: be sure to celebrate it well, knowing that great things are in store. The world is a better place for your commitment to the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that learning affords.

Congratulations to the class of 2020.

Congratulations on your graduation

I am delighted to share this significant event with you and those who have supported you along the way. Achieving one’s goals as an adult learner is a major accomplishment and those who journey with us are extraordinary people indeed.

As you go forward and bring your new knowledge and skills to the workplace and the world, please know that McMaster University Continuing Education is always here for you. You may want to return for further learning through a program or a professional development offering. In this time when work is changing rapidly and the world is becoming smaller through patterns of globalization, mobile technologies, and travel, being a lifelong learner is important.

A valuable way for you to stay in touch is through McMaster University’s alumni family. As a McMaster graduate, you have the opportunity to connect with thousands of other McMaster alumni. Visit alumni.mcmaster.ca to ﬁnd exclusive events, offers, and news.

In closing, thank you for choosing McMaster Continuing Education and allowing us to be part of your personal and professional journey. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to you and encourage you to enjoy today’s festivities and a special celebration of you.

[Translation: Greetings everyone, my name is Troy Hill. I am Mohawk from Six Nations of the Grand River Territory where I am an educator].

Greetings everyone, my name is Troy Hill. I am Mohawk from Six Nations of the Grand River Territory where I am an educator.

Along with being a proud Onkwehonwe educator on my reserve, I am also fortunate to hold another position I am also proud of, and that is the position as your new President of the McMaster Alumni Association.

And on behalf of your fellow McMaster alumni, I offer you sincere congratulations on the successful completion of your McMaster Continuing Education course.

You have now become a member of the McMaster Alumni Association, and so begins the next phase in your relationship with McMaster, one that we hope engages you throughout your lifetime, as it has for me.

Collectively, alumni are the largest constituency in the McMaster family, continuing to contribute to their alma mater as vital supporters, advocates, mentors, role models, and, of course, volunteers much like myself.

As I do and I certainly hope you will, take pride in joining this remarkable group and sharing the connection of McMaster education.

We invite you to explore the many opportunities and resources that are available to you to continue your learning journey through lectures and webinars, to engage with a vast alumni community, to network, mentor, and enjoy some social time.

I invite all of you to visit the alumni website at alumni.mcmaster.ca and keep your contact info up to date to ensure you can take advantage of the offerings. Familiarize yourself with the benefits of staying involved, and let us know how you would like to continue your relationship with McMaster.

To conclude, the McMaster alumni association is proud of your accomplishments and offer you a hearty congratulations and a warm welcome.

Thank you to everyone.

Recipients of Awards of Special Recognition

McMaster University Continuing Education and McMaster Association of Part-Time Students (MAPS) are committed to promoting academic excellence. We wish to acknowledge the following students for outstanding academic performance throughout their program of study.

Appreciation Award

Trish Trenter

Trish Trenter holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Western University, and has worked in the fields of marketing, public relations, employment services, and education for over 18 years. As a Director, Recruitment & Partnerships with Contact North|Contact Nord, she supervises a team of recruitment and student support professionals in five territories across Southwestern Ontario, develops new community-based partnerships to support students, and serves as institutional liaison for 12 public colleges and universities in Ontario. Trish is passionate about Contact North|Contact Nord’s work in supporting access to online programs and courses for underserved Ontarians and
helping them to achieve a degree, diploma, certificate, and/or other upgrading opportunities.

Since 2010, Trish has worked closely with McMaster Continuing Education (MCE), developing strong relationships with the team and serving as an enthusiastic advocate of our programs. Many MCE staff have heard about the ‘coin toss’ Trish made when, at age 18, she had to choose between McMaster and Western. Western may have won the coin toss then but Trish’s heart brought her back to McMaster University in 2010, and we couldn’t be happier. In every way, she is a champion of lifelong learning and a tireless advocate and supporter of learners across Ontario.

In closing, it is MCE’s distinct pleasure to award this year’s Appreciation Award to Trish Trenter. Trish embodies all of the positive goals of online and distributed learning as enablers of education and better lives, and it is our pleasure to work closely with Trish on many initiatives.

Educational Innovator Award

Donna Thomson

Donna Thomson is a caregiver, advocate, and author. She has worked with McMaster Continuing Education’s no-cost, open access, online course called Caregiving Essentials since 2019, providing facilitation expertise and building resources and partnerships. In her work as a facilitator and instructor for Caregiving Essentials, Donna brings a thoughtful and considerate presence to online discussions, provides a wealth of resources and information, enables participants to advocate for themselves, and makes lasting connections with others. Both individually and with co-presenters including Dr. Zachary White and Dr. Samir Sinha, Donna has developed and presented informative and interactive live sessions for Caregiving Essentials, Short Courses, and the SHIFT festival (SOCRATES project). She is skilled at developing and maintaining partnerships and has connected the course to diverse contacts within the caregiving space and thus enabled the course to reach over 700 participants. At this time when caregiving plays such an important role in our lives, it is a distinct pleasure to recognize Donna as the leader and educational innovator she is.

MAPS Centennial Award

Erin Smyth

It is our privilege this year to present the McMaster Association of Part Time Students (MAPS) Centennial Award to Erin Smyth. This award is presented to a student who has overcome adverse circumstances to attend university.

While Erin was working as a full-time pharmacy technician at a Toronto hospital, Erin experienced a life changing event in 2015 when she was diagnosed with a permanent disability. The decision to give up her career and seek a new direction was at first disheartening. Eventually, Erin chose to go back to school and further her dreams of helping people in her community and the world at large.

Certain events then led Erin to register with a surrogacy agency through which she was introduced to Kevin and Ray, a wonderful couple from Norway. As surrogacy is illegal in Norway but not in Canada, Kevin and Ray were seeking an unselfish and kind person who would, without compensation, dedicate two years to bringing a child to life for a couple across the world. The answer to their quest was Erin.

On May 19, 2019, a beautiful, healthy little girl was born. This event coincided with Erin’s completion of her Addictions Care-worker Diploma. Her deep love and desire to help others, especially members of the LGBTQ community, distinguishes her within the McMaster family. Erin has now been accepted into an undergraduate degree where she will continue thrive.

A Graduate’s Voice - Tyson Dimayuga

I was an experienced banking professional in Manila before moving to Toronto in the summer of 2016. In September 2016, I started my Certificate in Business Administration part-time online program with McMaster Continuing Education. Later that year, I landed a full-time job in one of the major banks.

Like most newcomers, I had my fair share of challenges settling in. At that point, I was juggling studies, work, and adapting to my new home. Initially, I found online learning more challenging. As an adult student, I was more accustomed to an in-person, more traditional teaching style. However, my instructors and the user-friendly online platform helped me adjust to this new learning approach.

The program gave me an understanding of the Canadian business landscape and organizational structures. I also credit my course work with improving my analytical and communication skills, which I applied in the workplace. When I finished my Certificate program in 2020, I reassessed my professional goals and decided to further my studies to earn a Diploma in Business Administration – Marketing, again with McMaster Continuing Education.

While studying, I took on the role of a digital content volunteer at the YMCA in the Greater Toronto Area where I currently develop blogs and online posts focused on newcomer settlement and job search strategies. My volunteer work allows me to apply the practical, real-world knowledge I learned from my strategic marketing communications and social media marketing courses. I can proudly say that my McMaster Continuing Education programs have helped me to excel professionally and contribute to community building.

I wanted to share my story with aspiring adult learners, especially newcomers wanting to pursue continuing education, to show them how learning and career goals can align with each other. You can connect with academic advisors and people working in your desired field which helps you gain insights into your targeted professional roles.

McMaster Continuing Education programs deliver quality courses and offer flexibility. The programs allow you to expand your knowledge and skills while enriching your personal and professional development. The instructors’ real-life teachings and experiences equip you with relevant and up-to-date learnings. The flexibility in schedule and program delivery enables you to balance your personal, social, and professional responsibilities without sacrificing your continuing education goal.

This year, I am graduating from my second McMaster Continuing Education program; this is a testament to the idea that continuing education is attainable by establishing goals and perseverance. If I can do it, so can you. The lifelong learning journey is challenging yet rewarding.

All the best to everyone. Thank you, McMaster Continuing Education!

Congratulations from your Instructors!
