Conrad Grebel University College proudly hohonours graduates who have lived and studied at Grebel while completing their University of Waterloo degree programs. This special Convocation ceremony takes place several weeks before the University of Waterloo Convocations, where the official degrees are conferred. It is a time for faculty, staff, students, families, and friends to come together and celebrate this significant achievement. We warmly welcome friends and families to join us for this celebration on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at 2:00 PM in the Humanities Theatre, University of Waterloo.

Engaging with art demands vulnerability and builds the muscles we need to navigate conflict, political resistance, suffering, and healing in our community and our world. This exhibit challenges viewers to embrace both the beautiful and the broken parts of themselves. Nina Bailey-Dick’s powerful batiks and collages are a feminist declaration of love for the land, self-love, and a call to action: Speak up, take up space, make art, and share vulnerability to build the resilience needed for personal and collective healing and action.  

This exhibit asks us to own and even value our own cracks and messy layers, refusing to choose between suffering and contentment, brokenness and beauty. Nina reminds us that holding both in tension is our work.  

This exhibit will be open from Saturday, April 4 to Wednesday, April 29.
