Pre-Commencement Celebration
Congratulations engineering graduates! Check out the Live Address recap (including video recording), 2020 graduate directory, 5-word speeches and video messages below.

Getting to this moment while staring a global pandemic in the face is no small feat. Although Queen’s University has made the very difficult decision to postpone the traditional in-person convocation until the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions are lifted, every effort will be made to help you celebrate virtually. While we cannot fully replace the feel of the traditional ceremony, the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science will mark your moment with an alternative form of recognition that you deserve. This is just one step we are taking to commemorate what you’ve worked long and hard for while OUR prepares the in-person convocation you hope for at a later date with all its pomp and circumstance. In the interim, join us for the month of June as we celebrate you. See your online celebratory activities below. Once again, congratulations on your hard work, patience and resilience – all markings of a legacy and tools for changing the world.
