Graduation
2021
Celebration
Special Edition May 28, 2021
Message from the President To say that I am proud of the class of 2021 would be an understatement. This has been an academic term like no other. The entire university community – myself included – has been inspired by the resilience, leadership and compassion shown by our May graduates in the face of unprecedented challenges. Your experience at Saint Mary’s has prepared you well for this moment. You have met people from all over the world, broadening your perspectives and intercultural understanding. Your professors have helped you study the past to change the future and solve problems using innovation and creativity. You have grown, personally and intellectually, and developed the skills to help you succeed, no matter what path you choose to pursue. This special edition Graduation Celebration program will be a reminder for years to come that the Class of 2021 did not stumble in the face of adversity but instead stepped forward with courage and determination. As you begin this new chapter in your lives, with lessons learned and eyes to the future, please know that you are, and always will be, a part of the Santamarian community. Congratulations on your achievements! I can’t wait to see what your future holds. Robert Summerby-Murray, PhD President and Vice-Chancellor
University
MOTTO Age Quod Agis
means to ‘do what you do.’ This phrase exhorts us to
focus on our work, to be in the moment and devote
our fullest attention to the task at hand. It is a call
for dedication, a focus on duty and perseverance,
a statement of process. It is a proclamation of the
importance of disciplining ourselves to our studies,
to our scientific, artistic, cultural, commercial and
Age athletic pursuits. It is a call to action to act in the
world, to shoulder responsibility, to champion social
Quod justice, environmental justice and ethical values.

Valedictorians
Cajiah Bethel
Bachelor of Science
Cajiah Bethel hails from Nassau, Bahamas. She started
her journey to Saint Mary’s after meeting President
Robert Summerby-Murray at a recruitment fair while
in high school, and knew that she was destined to be
a Husky. During her time at Saint Mary’s, she lived
in residence and worked as a Residence Advisor,
meeting people and making friends from around the
world. She graduates with a Bachelor of Science in
Biology, a program which allowed her to learn more
about plants and the human body. She plans on taking
the MCAT with the goal of attending medical school
and one day becoming a doctor.Morgan Burnard
Bachelor of Arts
Morgan Burnard is from Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley. In
2017, she graduated from Horton High School and began
her journey at Saint Mary’s University. During her time at
Saint Mary’s, Morgan has completed an Honours Degree in
English and a Minor in History. In addition, she is recognized
on the 2020-2021 Saint Mary’s Dean’s List.
At the age of five, Morgan’s passion for English began and
her dreams to obtain an English Degree quickly followed.
Morgan’s most prominent literary influence is Lucy Maud
Montgomery for her poetic recognition of the ordinary.
Morgan is also significantly influenced by Bruce Springsteen for his wisdom and devotion to
understanding the stories that surround and fill us with purpose. Borrowed from Rory Gilmore,
Morgan’s philosophy is “what she tackles, she conquers”. This philosophy applies to her
Valedictorian speech which is entitled, “The Steps of a Saint Mary’s Graduate”.
Morgan thanks her parents, Arnold and Lorraine, for their support and teaching her that
a dream is as possible as your dedication to work for it. Her sister, Margaret, resides in
memories but remains as an elemental presence in Morgan’s life. Morgan is also gracious to
Dr. Alexander MacLeod, a Saint Mary’s professor who has especially encouraged her writing
and academic pursuits.
The English Department at Saint Mary’s has furthered Morgan’s passion for English and has
inspired her to continue her education. Morgan has been accepted into the English Graduate
Program at Memorial University for the Fall of 2021.Valedictorians
Samantha Graham
Bachelor of Commerce
Born and raised in Nova Scotia, Samantha came to Saint
Mary’s to study economics, with a passion for both law and
medicine in her back pocket. While attending SMU, she
became a member of the Campus Medical Response Team,
which went on to win first place at the Annual Atlantic Canada
Campus Response Team Conference in 2019. Additionally,
Samantha has been an orientation leader, a Teaching Assistant
in Computer Science, coordinator of the Get Out the Vote
campaign during the 2019 federal election and worked as both
Academic Officer and Vice-President External for the Saint
Mary’s University Students’ Association. During her time with
SMUSA, she was elected Chair of Students Nova Scotia, a
provincial advocacy group; representing and advocating for
students during the challenging times of COVID-19. In 2020,
she was recognized with an Outstanding Position Paper award
for her role on the SMU Model United Nations Team and is on
the Sobey School of Business Dean’s List.
The excellent faculty and staff at Saint Mary’s have transformed
Samantha’s experience, especially those that she met while
studying across various disciplines. After spending the 2020-
2021 year working through a global pandemic, and recognizing
her passion for the medical system, Samantha will be heading
to Ireland in the fall to pursue her Master of Public Health at
University College Cork.Professor Emeriti

They are awarded to the student graduating with the highest average from a high school, as well as from approved college or university programs. Pierre Trudeau, Tommy Douglas, Kim Campbell, Robert Bourassa, Robert Stanfield and Gabrielle Roy are just some of the more than 50 000 people who have received the Governor General’s Academic Medal. Today, the Governor General’s Academic Medals are awarded at four distinct levels: Bronze at the secondary school level; Collegiate Bronze at the post-secondary, diploma level; Silver at the undergraduate level; and Gold at the graduate level. Medals are presented on behalf of the Governor General by participating educational institutions, along with personalized certificates signed by the Governor General. Master of Arts (International Development Studies): James Morrison International Development Studies Medal The purpose of this medal, made possible through a generous donation by Dr. James Morrison of Saint Mary's University, is to recognize exceptional fieldwork design and empirical research at the graduate level. Established in 1993, this medal is awarded based on the successful completion of a Master of Arts in International Development thesis that integrates field research and demonstrates the theory and practice of International Development.

graduate-level University Gold medal, recognizing highest academic achievement for graduates of the
Master of Business Administration. Dr. Beazley was the first recipient of a Bachelor of Commerce at Saint
Mary’s in 1936, taught at Saint Mary’s his entire career, and served as Dean of Commerce and as coach
of the men’s varsity hockey team. His contributions to the Sobey School of Business and the Department
of Accounting are immeasurable; shortly after his retirement, he was named Professor Emeritus and Dean

O'Brien Award in Irish Studies This award was created by the generosity of Dr. Brian O'Brien DSc’15 to honour a graduating student who has excelled in Irish Studies. The award also memorializes the important contributions of Rev. Richard Baptist O'Brien, the first President of Saint Mary's when it acquired degree granting status in 1841, and the Archbishop of Halifax, Cornelius O'Brien, who led the university's re-establishment in 1903 following a 22-year closure. Dr. Brian O'Brien DSc'15 is a long-time benefactor of the Irish Studies Program and a stalwart of the Irish community in Halifax. Since his retirement in 2009 from a distinguished career as an Opthalmologist, Dr. O'Brien has been a champion in the restoration of the Holy Cross Cemetery, a valuable repository of the history of the Irish contribution to Saint Mary's and Nova Scotia. In 2015, Dr. O'Brien received a Doctor of Science (honoris causa) from Saint Mary's University. Edwin C. Harris Tax Prize Established 2010, the Edwin C. Harris Tax Prize was established by Saint Mary's University and the Sobey School of Business Tax Conference Planning Committee in honour of Edwin C.
