Volunteering at the University’s Convocation ceremonies is one of the perks of his job, says Richard Lanspeary of the Advising Centre.
“It provides me an opportunity to see students after all their academic studies are finished,” he says. “We see them at Head Start, we get them through the admissions process, help them make course selections, nurture their study skills, and provide emotional bolstering when necessary.
“It is wonderful to see them at the end of the day, crossing the stage with a smile on their faces and holding that degree in their hands.”
Richard Lanspeary of the Advising Centre won yesterday’s DailyNews contest and two tickets to Afternoon Jazz with Shahida Nurullah & Friends, Sunday, October 23, at 2:30 p.m., in Assumption University Chapel.
