From June 8 to 12, Carleton University will welcome crowds of graduating students, their family, friends and well-wishers to campus as the community celebrates Spring Convocation. Over the course of 5 days and 17 ceremonies, more than 6900 students will receive their well-earned degrees.

Carleton will also bestow three honorary doctorates.
