SYDNEY - More than 700 students from 34 programs will graduate from Cape Breton University Saturday at its annual spring convocation, including its first class from its campus in Egypt.
Chancellor Annette Verschuren will be on hand to confer the degrees, diplomas and certificates, and also pay tribute to two honorary degree recipients: Beatrice LeBlanc and Kenneth Mann.
LeBlanc is an humanitarian and advocate for women and children who have been threatened by abuse. A native of Arichat, she relocated to Sydney 40 years ago and, in 1981, began working at Cape Breton Transition House, where she is executive director. Mann, a noted scholar, author and world leader on aquatic ecology research will be recognized for his innovative and influential career.
Saturday’s convocation ceremony starts at 2 p.m. in the Canada Games Complex.
