MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD CHAIR On behalf of the College of the Rockies Board of Governors, it is my pleasure to extend our sincere congratulations to the graduating class of 2021.

Though it has been a challenging year that finds us once again celebrating virtually, we applaud your accomplishments and are proud that you chose College of the Rockies on your educational journey. It is my hope that you feel well-prepared to embark on your career or future education.

As Chair of the College’s Board of Governors, I am privileged to work with a dedicated Board, our President, Paul Vogt, and a broad range of educators, administrators, and staff who are committed to making higher education accessible to our communities, regardless of the circumstances. We are inspired to make an impact on the future of British Columbia and in the lives of students like you.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT This year we are celebrating our 45th Convocation Ceremony. Though we wish we were doing so in person, the pride we take in the accomplishments of our graduates remains.

Students often face roadblocks and challenges on their road to graduation and the Class of 2021 is certainly no exception. You were faced with completing your program in the midst of a global pandemic, and yet you succeeded. You were able to adapt to a new way of learning, and despite the challenges you encountered, you persevered. You should be very proud of your achievement – we certainly are.

Though the world is complicated right now, I hope your time with us has helped prepare you to prosper. It was our aim to challenge you to think differently, to help build your self-confidence, and to expand your worldview. The knowledge you have acquired will open doors to opportunity and success in both your personal and working lives.

You have worked hard to get to this day, but likely didn’t do so alone. Your family and friends played an integral part in your success through their encouragement, personal sacrifices, mentoring, and support. Though you may be physically distanced from some who have helped you along the way, I know you join me in thanking them for their contributions.

Graduates, as you embark on your career, or further education, I encourage you to look back at all you have accomplished, and how you have already responded to unexpected change and adversity. You are well-prepared to succeed and I wish you all the best. Thank you for allowing us to share in your journey.

And again, congratulations to the graduating class of 2021!
