A Seminary celebration! The 2020 year marked the 50th anniversary of the Seminary and, despite the pandemic challenges, the occasion was marked by alumni from across Canada to London to Georgia, and all points in between. In early February, alumni and friends gathered together in Richmond, B.C. By the time fall rolled around, and COVID-19 was impacting every facet of life, a hoped-for in-person event pivoted to a Zoom-based virtual event on November 19. Alumni from the 1980s through the 2010s joined in, as did past faculty members, current Dean Dr. Jo-Ann Badley and Ambrose University President Dr. Gordon Smith. It may have been a different kind of event, but alumni from different eras took advantage of the opportunity to connect with one another in various breakout groups, sharing stories, getting updates and generally reconnecting with peers and professors. A PowerPoint presentation was developed just for the occasion. Check it out online at ambrose.edu/alumni-celebration
