Education News Canada picked up Niagara College’s October 22 release announcing NC’s Virtual Fall Convocation special guest speaker Mark Suknanan who will deliver the convocation address to more than 1,000 graduates and receive the College’s Distinguished Alumni Award on October 30.
During the eight years since he crossed the stage at his own convocation, the NC Broadcasting – Radio, Television and Film alumnus (2012), known as Suki, became the face of YTV shows including The Zone and Next Star Nation. His drag alter ego, Priyanka, also catapulted into the limelight; most recently, winning the hearts of judges and fans of reality TV series Canada’s Drag Race (2020) as he/she was crowned Canada’s Next Drag Superstar.
Two virtual ceremonies will be held on October 30 at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Visit the College’s Virtual Convocation site to view the schedule or to access the livestream ceremonies at niagaracollege.ca/virtualconvocation/.
