CONGRATULATIONS

WINTER 2021 GRADUATES

Congratulations to the graduating class of 2021 from all of us at Mohawk College. Like your families, we are proud of all that you have accomplished.

THE CHARGE TO THE GRADUATES Graduates, today you are admitted into the fellowship of graduates of Ontario Colleges, an honour bestowed only upon those who have met high standards of conduct and learning.

In the name of Mohawk College, therefore I hereby charge you: • To safeguard the dignity and ethics of our fellowship; • To cultivate the spirit of inquiry and innovation; • To celebrate your role as a local and global citizen;

This is a major milestone in your life. Getting to this moment took resilience, focus and hard work. And that has been especially true for you these past many months. The COVID-19 pandemic is the biggest obstacle Mohawk College has ever faced in our history. We will get through this. And how we get through this will help to define us as a college.

And how you get through this crisis will help to define you, as well.

We are facing a lot of changes in our lives at this time but with change comes opportunity. Opportunities come more frequently out of change, than they do out of the status quo.

Take all the lessons you learned and the experiences you gained while at Mohawk and lean into the changes. If you lean into change, it will help you manage through the uncertainties of life.

It was a privilege to educate and serve you as a student and we cannot wait to see what you will accomplish next.

Regards,

• To maintain, through study, the fresh viewpoint expected in an age of rapid advancement; and • To contribute, in all these ways, to society, in order that the dignity of humankind, through you, may be constantly reaffirmed.

Ron J. McKerlie, President & CEO Mohawk College of Applied Arts and Technology

THE COLLEGE Mohawk College has grown to be one of Canada’s leading colleges. Mohawk’s history began in 1947 with the establishment of the Provincial Institute of Textiles which was transformed into the Hamilton Institute of Technology (HIT) in 1957. Ten years later, in 1967, the HIT was incorporated as the newly established Mohawk College, one of 24 Ontario colleges.
