The Last Lecture offers graduating students an opportunity to come

together and reflect upon their experiences at Trent University, bring

closure to the time that they have spent here, and celebrate their many

accomplishments both inside and outside of the classroom.

This annual event features an address by a graduating student, a

distinguished alumna/us and a faculty member who will offer their words

of inspiration to the Convocation Class. Each lecturer speaks under one

theme, offering their personal reflections, stories and words of wisdom

to the graduating class. The Last Lecture helps to signify the beginning

of the next step on your journey.

Unlike convocation where you sit by program and alphabetical order,

at the Last Lecture you may choose to sit next to the person you sat

beside in your first year lecture, and that same person might be your

best friend today. Gather together a group of close friends and

celebrate your last Trent lecture together.
