Fleming College Celebrates Convocation with 3,500 Graduates Ready to Enter the Workforce
Peterborough, ON (June 19, 2024) - Fleming College proudly celebrated the achievements of its graduating Class of 2024 during a two-day convocation ceremony held in Peterborough.
More than 3,500 students from Fleming’s three campuses gathered at the Peterborough Memorial Centre for six convocation ceremonies on June 11 and June 12.
The day featured inspiring speeches from both students and faculty.
Matthew Wilson, valedictorian for the School of Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences, quit his day job in shipping to return to school because, he explained, he wanted to help make the world a better place.
“The path ahead will present challenges, it is in these moments that your true strength and commitment will shine,” Wilson told his classmates. “Embrace the opportunities to innovate, educate, and inspire. Let the beauty and fragility of our ecosystems fuel your determination to make a difference.”
Family and friends gathered outside the Peterborough Memorial Centre following last week's convocation ceremonies to congratulate graduating students.
Francine Sam, a Practical Nursing student and valedictorian for the School of Health and Community Services, had initially enrolled in nursing school in her home country of Australia. But, as she explained to hundreds of people at the Memorial Centre during the June 11 ceremony at 10 a.m., life had other plans for her, and she put her schooling on hold.
Fast forward a few years, and Francine found herself in a rural village in East Africa, caring for vulnerable children and their communities. She also re-found her love of nursing and was motivated to return to school and finish what she had started.
Sam encouraged her fellow graduates to focus on the road ahead-but she also encouraged them to take time to celebrate convocation, and the milestone it represents in their academic journey.
“When tomorrow comes, we won’t remember that feeling we had about assignment deadlines, or the dates of our big exams, or walking into labs for scenarios and practicum testing, or that feeling of logging in to check our grades. Those memories will grow distant tomorrow, but we will remember this moment, being the sum and substance of those late nights and sleepless weeks and stressful times. So, let’s take another second. This is the finish line we have hoped for!”

In the 1980s and 1990s, Fleming College hosted convocation at the Peterborough Memorial Centre before moving it to the Sutherland, Frost and Haliburton campuses.
Fleming decided to return to the Memorial Centre to ensure convocation was accessible and inclusive for everyone. A livestream of the event was available on Fleming’s YouTube channel, allowing friends and family from around the world to join in the festivities. The virtual component ensured that everyone, regardless of location, could share in the pride and joy of convocation.

Ontario Council on Articulation and Transfer Supports Postsecondary Learner Mobility at Fleming College
Toronto, ON (June 18, 2024) – Dr. Adrienne Galway, Executive Director of the Ontario Council on Articulation and Transfer (ONCAT) was joined by Jill Dunlop, Minister of Colleges and Universities, and Dr. Ann Marie Vaughan, President and CEO of Humber College, to announce 39 new projects focused on supporting postsecondary learner mobility.
Over the next year, ONCAT is flowing over $2.8 million to support learner mobility projects at 35 colleges, universities, and Indigenous Institutes in Ontario. These projects aim to empower learners by recognizing previous education and professional experiences and facilitating smoother transitions between programs and institutions.
At Fleming College, this funding supports the Prior Learning and Assessment Recognition (PLAR) Project, with a $134,000 grant.
PLAR is a systemic credit granting process that helps identify and document relevant knowledge and skills which may come from areas outside the academic scope. This could include formal and informal study, work and even relevant life experience. This is then assessed, and a course credit can be granted for a particular program. This project will help provide greater access to higher education for a variety of individuals, including disadvantaged or marginalized groups.
“Empowering learners with accessible pathways to navigate their educational journey is key to helping them achieve their professional and academic goals,” said Dr. Galway. “The increased funding will promote improved transitions between institutions and programs, helping learners get where they want to go.”
“The Ontario government is proud to support ONCAT’s important work to make it easier for learners of all backgrounds to pursue their educational goals,” said Minister Jill Dunlop. “By facilitating smoother transitions and recognizing the wealth of knowledge gained through previous experience, we are fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment to advance student success in Ontario.”
“By recognizing someone’s valuable life experience and earned knowledge, we are helping PLAR students realize their dreams and career ambitions,” Fleming College President Maureen Adamson said. “This funding will help save PLAR students time, money and put them on the fast track to getting a diploma and a job.”
In Fall of 2023, ONCAT initiated calls for projects for greater accessibility and impact within the postsecondary sector. This call was met with an unprecedented number of applications from postsecondary institutions, demonstrating a growing interest to support greater learner mobility, expand access to postsecondary opportunities and improve pathways to the labour market.
Established in 2011, the Ontario Council on Articulation and Transfer plays a pivotal role in supporting learner mobility, working to reduce barriers for students seeking to transfer among the province's public colleges, universities, and Indigenous Institutes.

Fleming College Achieves Success with Three Grants Awarded for Research Equipment
(Peterborough) – Fleming College has achieved an impressive milestone by securing three highly sought-after Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Applied Research Tools and Instruments (ARTI) grants, totaling over $565,000.
Fleming submitted three proposals to the Federal funding competition - the maximum permitted for any college - and in a resounding validation of its research program, all three were awarded.
"Receiving three NSERC ARTI awards is a tremendous honour for us,” stated Fleming College President, Maureen Adamson. “Our state-of-the-art research centres are known for providing high-quality research services to our regional partners, who rely on innovation to stay competitive. With the addition of new advanced tools, we’re ensuring that our centres remain vital hubs for collaborative research and innovation in our community."
For the Centre for Innovative Aquaculture Production (CIAP), the funding will be used to acquire smart fish feeding technology to be used at the centre’s brand-new research facility. CIAP’s impressive facility, set to open in a few weeks, has already garnered significant financial support from various other sources, including private donations and grants from NSERC, the Canada Foundation for Innovation, the Ontario Research Fund, and the Ministry of Colleges and Universities. The facility was custom designed from the ground up to meet the research and development needs of Ontario’s aquaculture industry.
"Our research partners will be delighted with the outcomes of these NSERC ARTI awards, which will enable us to deliver even more impactful results," remarked President Adamson. “I look forward to the exciting opportunities ahead as we leverage these grants to further strengthen our research partnerships."
Fleming's CAMIIT will use an ARTI award to purchase a new Laser Power Bed Fusions (LPBF) metal 3D printer, significantly improving their in-house capability to produce complex and intricate metal parts. The CAWT will acquire an additional Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) for their accredited laboratory, allowing researchers to efficiently analyze multiple trace elements in water, including heavy metals.
