Invitation to Dio Convocation 2020 - Online Event!

Bishop Mary would like to remind you of the Dio Convocation taking place this Monday (May 4th) at 7:30 pm. You need to register to attend. Here below is the is the invitation/message from Jesse Zink, Principal.

Dear colleagues,

 It has become obvious that the Covid-19 pandemic means we will not be able to hold Convocation as usual this year. Restrictions on the size of gatherings make an event of this size impossible for early May. 

 However, there is nothing I like more than gathering people together to celebrate the accomplishments of our students—and we can still do that. Convocation this year will be an online-only event on Monday, May 4, 2020 at 7:30pm. We will pray together, grant degrees and diplomas, award prizes, reflect on the year, and have a special Convocation address from the primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, the Most Rev. Linda Nicholls. While some aspects of our usual event won’t be possible to translate online, I hope that we will preserve the essential elements of celebration of accomplishment. In addition, we will invite those students graduating this year to join us again in May 2021 for a public, in-person recognition of their accomplishment.

 Convocation is, of course, free but to preserve the security of the event we are asking that people register beforehand on Zoom using this link.

At the end of our Convocation, we will toast our graduates and award winners. Please bring a celebratory drink to join in.

 As part of Convocation, we would like to share some photographs from the past year. If you have pictures of the college community “in action” and you are willing for them to be used in this way, please e-mail them to Beth Reed at bethreed@montrealdio.ca.
