Sprott Shaw held their Lower Mainland Spring 2009 Graduation Ceremony last night. It was a great event. You could feel the excitement in the air; it was like a scene from a movie. As students began to enter the building you could begin to hear excitement from all the family and friends seeing their loved ones graduate, every face had a smile.

When the event started, the energy was high! As guests were being seated you could hear cheers from more than 180 graduates up on the third floor. As the graduates entered the auditorium the sounds of grandeur filled the Center of Performing Arts with a standing ovation to all of the grads. Our master of ceremonies Rob, the Director of Curriculum Development, did a fantastic job, and really set an excellent tone for the entire evening. We had two guest speakers in attendance for the evening, Mr. Bill Weymark and Mr. Dick Harris, both of whom gave excellent speeches! Our Chancellor The Honourable Brian Peckford, gave a very memorable speech. As he took the stage you couldn’t do anything besides listen to him. Mr. Peckford had such a strong presence, you could not turn away.

The President of Sprott Shaw Community College Mr. Dean Duperron took the stage. As he began his speech you could sense the pride he has in the students of Sprott Shaw. To be able to see students who have successfully completed their programs, whether it be a diploma or degree program. It’s exciting, this is a huge step in a person’s life and it is such an honour to be apart of this moment in their lives.  Sprott Shaw’s two Valedictorian’s gave excellent speeches, both students were very articulate and had the crowds full attention. 

All in all last night was an excellent evening! All the work to set up was well worth it; I would like to thank everyone who helped to make the evening possible. Dave & Sue were to two people responsible to getting the evening going and what a great job they did! To all Sprott Shaw Community College Graduates of 2009 we wish you all the best!! Good luck with all future endeavors.
