@FxDuhamel In my all-time Top 5. Exquisite 💗

There is no word for “artist” in Inuktitut says @Elisapie as she encourages ⁦@CU_FineArts⁩ grads to do as she did: trust their instincts, be honest and fearless, discover what defines them and… confront their parents! #CUgrad

[Fiona Downey @fiodow]

Then @Elisapie’s family joined her and we all melted among the joy and giggles #CUgrad #Concordia

The “Who Wore It Best” jokes were flying among the fur and swag backstage @PlacedesArts as @Elisapie prepares to receive her honorary doctorate @Concordia #CUgrad

[Fiona Downey @fiodow]

Honorary doctorate recipient ⁦@GinaCodySchool⁩ Dr Deborah Estrin inspires grads to “shape the world with creativity & rigour” & “resist cynicism”. The computer science researcher @Cornell did exactly that as a pioneer in harnessing real-time data for health care #CUgrad

New honorary doctorate recipient Clarissa Desjardins tells @Concordia grads she never imagined herself an entrepreneur when she graduated with a science degree. CEO of Congruence Therapeutics, Desjardins says she followed her interests, made a discovery & thought “why not me?”

Nancy Jocktane, one of the @Concordia grads at the centre of this week’s celebrations, along with her excited young family. Bravo to Nancy and all #CUgrads. The world will know your accomplishments!!

L’adaptabilité. La qualité qui démarque les finissants selon Pascale Sicotte, doyenne de la Faculté des arts et sciences à l’Université #Concordia. Le respect, la compassion et l’empathie a assuré leur success; une importante lesson pour la vie, selon Dre Sicotte

[Fiona Downey @fiodow]

Adaptability like no generation before them; the quality Pascale Sicotte, dean of #Concordia Faculty of Arts & Science highlights in today’s graduates. Respect, compassion & empathy got them through. A good lesson for life days Dean Sicotte #CUgrad

@FNoMTL It's so evil, really. My little Irish semi-hippy mother, having delighted in the rations of lard (forget butter) during WW2, certainly thought she was doing the right thing in getting those packets of white hydrogenated veg oil we then mushed the yellow dye into #Yummy
