McGill University, Convocation Ceremony for the Centre for Continuing Education, 28 May 2007, Learning for Development: What McGill University and Continuing Education have meant to me, Address to Convocation, Sir John Daniel, Commonwealth of Learning // It is a great honour to receive this honorary doctorate from McGill University at the Convocation Ceremony for the Centre for Continuing Education. Honorary graduates in North America are expected to share some platitudes about life with the graduates. That's not my style so I shall simply tell you why I revere McGill University and why continuing education has been important to me.
