Abstract
This newsletter contains information on the Convocation of 1982, the help that women can provide for each other in education, honorary degrees and citations, the role that awards ceremonies play in bringing family together, and a biographical sketch of Beryl Rowland regarding her educational, professional, and familial pursuits. Other scholars have been named, such as Irene McQuillan Murphy, who focused on musical education, and the Honorable Monique Bégin, who was the first woman to sit in the House of Commons in Québec. The newsletter demonstrates how education and full-time jobs are interrelated, as well as urging students to embrace their educational abilities so that they can achieve their full potential.
