I want to congratulate you all, every single one of you, students and friends, spouses, alumni, teachers, administrators, children, parents, all of you. Everyone. Congratulations to all of you who are graduating on the hard work and the met deadlines and the missed deadlines, and the anguish and the joy and the, “What am I doing this for?” And the, “I’m not good enough,” and, “What do I do with it now?” And, “What comes next?”

Pilgrimage is the dedicated annual documentary journal of St. Stephen’s University.

On October 1, St. Stephen’s University hosted an event to honour and celebrate Chief Hugh Akagi of the Peskotomuhkati Nation at Skutik and his community, in which the Chief received a Doctorate of Humanities (honoris causa). His nomination for this honour came by way of SSU's Board Chair Judith Moses , who serves as the university's Indigenous Kahn-tineta . You can view the entire celebration below.
