Completing a doctoral degree is an incredible accomplishment and academic milestone. Countless hours attending seminars, writing exams, TAing, RAing, teaching courses, conducting research and participating in the dissertation defense have led to this exciting moment—degree completion. For many, these necessary facets of the PhD were also completed remotely because of COVID-19.
On behalf of the Faculty of Arts, congratulations to our newest cohort of Doctors of Philosophy!
On Thursday, June 17th at 7:00 p.m., a PhD Virtual Reception will be held to celebrate the achievements of our PhD graduands
Congratulations to our newly minted PhDs!
