TERRITORY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
College of the Rockies serves the communities of the East Kootenays. All of the College’s campuses are located in the traditional territory of the Ktunaxa people which is also home to the Kinbasket people. Five First Nations bands are located in the regional boundary of the College: Four of which are Ktunaxa and one is Shuswap. Additionally, the College partners with the Kootenay Regional Office of the Métis Nation, BC. We are thankful for all our Indigenous partners and are constantly seeking new ways to support the development of our community.

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD CHAIR
On behalf of the College of the Rockies Board of Governors, it is my pleasure to extend our sincere congratulations to the graduating class of 2023.
Through challenging circumstances, you learned to adapt to ever-changing guidelines and teaching methods. We hope developing those strengths will continue to serve you in the years ahead. We applaud your accomplishments and are proud that you chose College of the Rockies for all, or part, of your educational journey. It is my hope that you feel well-prepared to embark on your career or future education.
As Chair of the College’s Board of Governors, I am privileged to work with a dedicated Board, our President, Paul Vogt, and a broad range of educators, administrators, and staff who are committed to making higher education accessible to our communities, regardless of the circumstances. We are inspired to make an impact on the future of British Columbia and in the lives of students like you.
You can be extremely proud of your accomplishments at College of the Rockies. On behalf of the Board of Governors, I congratulate you for reaching this impressive milestone and wish you continued success in your future endeavours.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
This year we are holding our 47th Convocation Ceremony at College of the Rockies, gathering as a community to celebrate the accomplishments of our students and offer our best wishes for the next stage that lies ahead.
We take special pride in the students who are graduating this year. Most of you began your program in the midst of a global pandemic. You had to adapt to new ways of learning, new ways of connecting with your instructors and fellow students. And you did it! You persevered and met your goals under very challenging conditions.
Though the world is complicated right now, I hope your time with us has helped prepare you to adapt and contribute. It was our aim to challenge you to think differently - to kindle your passion, build your confidence, and expand your worldview. We are confident the education you received at College of the Rockies will open doors to opportunity and success in both your personal and working lives.
You worked hard to get to this day, but chances are you didn’t do it alone. Your family and friends played an integral part in your success through their encouragement, personal sacrifices, mentoring and support. I know those special people are in your thoughts, whether they are with us today to celebrate your success or not. We thank them for having your back.
Graduates, as you embark on your career, or further education, I encourage you to look back at all you have accomplished, and how you have already responded to adversity. You are well-prepared to succeed, and I wish you all the best. Thank you for allowing us to share in your journey.
And again, congratulations to the graduating class of 2023!
Paul Vogt
