King’s will hold its 235th Encaenia on Thursday, May 29, 2025 at 2:30 p.m. at the Dalhousie Arts Centre.
The conferring of academic and honorary degrees takes place during Encaenia, a ceremony rooted in the traditions of Oxford. Encaenia is a Greek word meaning “beginning, commencement,” and the term has been used since the founding of King’s in 1789.
Please see the main Encaenia page for more information.
