This past weekend, the U of A community celebrated the academic achievements of its Spring graduates from the Augustana Faculty. Each has toiled and excelled in their field, and we'd like to take this opportunity to say congrats - well done, everyone!
During the ceremony, farmer and food security advocate Nettie Wiebe received her honourary degree and urged the 2018 grads to embrace cultural diversity as part of an effort to foster an inclusive society.
"Just as biological diversity is necessary for survival and resilience in the natural world, so cultural diversity is necessary for social and political resilience…. For rich, sustainable, democratic societies, we must embrace difference, practice inclusion and compassion, and celebrate diversity."
- Nettie Wiebe
