Class of 2020
Geomatics Engineering

On June 25 2020, the Department hosted the Class of 2020 online graduation celebration. As COVID-19 forced the postponement of the spring engineering convocation, we virtually celebrated as a department. The graduation celebration was organized by the Schulich School of Engineering as one of five different engineering online graduation celebrations taking place simultaneously.

Class of 2020

The well-attended celebration was hosted by Dr. Emmanuel Stefanakis, Head of Geomatics Engineering Department. At the beginning, Dean Bill Rosehart offered a few words on behalf of the Schulich School of Engineering. Then, Dr. Elena Rangelova, an award-winning instructor, including ESS Geomatics Engineering Graduating Students Professor of the Year and the Department of Geomatics Engineering Teaching Excellence Award, shared her words with the newest Schulich Geomatics Engineers. The program continued with the speech of Sandra Simeonova, President of the Geomatics Graduate Group (G^3). Then, our distinguished alumni Natasha Spokes, CEO & Co-Founder of FarCloser Travel, offered her words of wisdom and also led all the new graduates in the University of Calgary alumni pledge, a key part of our graduation tradition. Finally, Provost Dru Marshall popped by to congratulate our graduates.
