After 30 years and hundreds of convocation ceremonies, University Chaplain Brian Yealland has hung up his robes in favour of retirement. Since taking up his role in 1983, Rev. Yealland has given an opening prayer or reading at the start of each ceremony. On Friday, June 14, he addressed the convocation assembly for the last time.
