It’s not an event on the scale of most Western University convocation ceremonies, but for those gathered a Wemple Hall at King’s University College it may have had even more significance.
It was a convocation like many others, filled with ceremony and tradition. Graduating students filed into Western University s Alumni Hall on Wednesday morning, young people ready to launch into the next phase of their lives. But at the front of the auditorium sat a man with grey hair and a cane watching as students crossed the stage to have their accomplishments recognized.
