Graduation season is here, and Lakeland College is getting ready to celebrate its Lloydminster campus Class of 2026.
Convocation is set for 1:30 p.m. on Friday, May 29 at the Lloydminster campus gym, where graduates from a range of programs will cross the stage. The ceremony will recognize students from business, energy, foundational learning, university transfer, and health and wellness.
President’s and Governor General medals
Along with celebrating graduates, several awards and honours will be handed out during the ceremony. The President’s Medal will go to Emry Marchand from the university transfer program, while Cort Egeland, a business administration diploma graduate specializing in real estate appraisal and assessment, will receive the Governor General Medal for the highest GPA.
Distinguished Alumni, Distinguished Citizen
Lakeland College will also recognize standout members of its extended community. Leroy Fontaine, a 2013 graduate of the emergency services technology program, has been named this year’s distinguished alumni.
Doug Stewart will be honoured as distinguished citizen, receiving an honorary bachelor of agricultural technology for his contributions to the college and community.
