One of the most joyous days of the year, celebrating the graduates of the Bachelor of Journalism and Master of Journalism at Carleton University.
Jun 8
Convocation, one of the best days on the academic calendar. A joy to participate in today's graduation ceremony for the new batch of Bachelor of Journalism and Master of Journalism graduates from Carleton University. Did it myself 40 years ago this week. Never looked back.

In our meeting during my hiring process in 2003, Katherine encouraged me to turn my interest in the role of media during the Rwanda Genocide into a major project. With her support, the Rwanda Initiative was created, a five-year program to foster journalism education in Rwanda.

Honoured to attend today's emotional memorial service for Katherine Graham, the legendary public policy scholar and former Dean of the Faculty of Public Affairs at Carleton. She hired me in 2003. One friend called her "a mentor, a steady presence and a cheerleader, all at once."

An emotional and poignant farewell today for legendary Canadian journalist Hugh Winsor. Hugh's celebration of life was replete with references to his most notable traits - his kindness, curiosity, generosity, tenacity - and his love of words, sailing, family and friends. RIP Hugh
