\n Celebrating our MPM Graduates\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

The Clayton H. Riddell Graduate Program in Political Management proudly celebrated the most recent class of graduates at its annual Pinning Ceremony, held in conjunction with Spring Convocation. Hosted by Karim Bardeesy, MP for Taiaiako’n\u2014Parkdale\u2014High Park, the evening brought together graduates, faculty, family, and distinguished guests for a memorable reception near Parliament Hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A longstanding MPM tradition, the ceremony recognizes graduating students with the presentation of a silver Riddell MPM pin, symbolizing their connection to the program and entry into its growing alumni community. The evening featured remarks from Program Director Jennifer Robson<\/a>, a formal pinning presentation led by MPM alumnus Rob Leforte<\/a>, and opportunities to connect with the broader MPM community, highlighting the achievements of a cohort poised to make their mark in politics and public affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event continues to be a cornerstone of the MPM experience, fostering community, celebrating accomplishment, and strengthening connections between current students and alumni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
