Convocation Check Masonic

At the recent Spring Ordinary Meeting of Convocation the cheque for this amount was ceremonially presented to the Chancellor of the University, Dr Michael Chaney by Warden of Convocation, Dr Doug McGhie.

Support by Convocation for this building project is in keeping with Convocation’s contributions to historical buildings and works of art at the University. Council was particularly impressed by the focus on graduate innovators and the enablement of their access to a new facility close to their University.

Convocation will benefit through its profiling in the renovated building with internal and external signage, and through access to the facility for Convocation activities.

Convocation is investigating the opportunity to hold the 2018 Convocation Day celebrations at the building, with a tree to be planted by the Guild President adjacent to the new Hub, on March 4th 2018 as one of the first functions at the building.
